I'm not saying it's a big issue, all I'm saying is there are ways that it could have been avoided
I disagree - it couldn't have been avoided. If Go North East want to keep momentum on their X-lines project, then work had to commence now. The repainting of 6332/33 and the purchase of two new StreetDecks shows Go North East are willing to invest in this premium brand, but money doesn't grow on trees.
The Red Kite group of services probably make a lot more money than the X21 does, so why should the Red Kite have to receive older buses?
