(16 Jul 2020, 9:27 pm)L469 YVK You dropping us a hint there? Is that why the X84 & X85 received E400MMCs for "fleet commonality" at Hexham?Not at all, just a common sense approach. Also it has been rumoured that the Ten will receive some sort of upgrade, whether that's refurb or new buses, who knows...
(16 Jul 2020, 10:45 pm)6049 Isn't the PVR for the 27 less than the X1? If that's the case, 6001 could be going as spare with the remainder in a "new" Crusader livery - maybe with 6050 filling the same role unless that's going to form part of the PVR.Dont forget, red arrow B9s are low spec, with only wifi and NSA. Think PVR is 13/14

I thought the Consett B9s were earmarked for the Loop?
I wouldn't imagine they'll be too bothered about age commonality. More likely to focus on keeping fleet numbers in sync and handling characteristics similar - the majority of Washington's B9s are fairly flat with a few exceptions so I'd imagine they'll keep them together.
