No, given the B5LHs fuel the same way as a Diesel-engined bus. As for number of Hybrids vs PVR, there is actually enough for 1 spare given the PVR of the 308 is 9 (Every 15 minutes, round trip of 2 hours 8 minutes).

Reduced need for deckers on the X4/X5 coupled to the increased need for them on the X10/X11 means 7607/8 are both being repainted back into standard livery, although 7608 was still in service in Quorum livery on Thursday.
