I think the E400 City looks nice but I am not totally sure on how it will fare the heavy, demanding nature of the X9/X10 route, I fear it will possibly be met with similar responses to when StreetDeck SN64CTU was on these services last year. I've ridden one of Blackpool Transport's examples and thought it was pretty comfortable but it wasn't fast, mind it wasn't on a route where you could get up to much speed, although most of Blackpool is 30mph or less and it's difficult comparing a stop, start route round Blackpool and Flyde Coast to the Tyne Tees Xpress.
