Durham Diamond branding looks fantastic I have to say, in regards to the Northern 6 I am going predict that it will use a few Cobalt Clipper B9s if the 309/310 end up with StreetDecks in the near future.
Well, unless some dealer stock B9s can be whipped up from somewhere, it's either got to be the Red Arrows or the Cobalt Clipper where the cascades not only for this service, but the X21 are going to come from. And to be honest, since 6104 has returned to service, a Fab 56 B9 has been sent but not a Cobalt Clipper one for the mods (to my knowledge). And looking at the business case, GNE won't save any fuel buying E400MMCs for the X1 and I don't think that they would chance a Streetdeck on the X1 either. And of course, I do think that the X21 will need power sockets too owing to Arriva's MAX X12.
More of an order prediction but was merely replying to a post in this topic.
