What's the interior spec like on them? Do they have tables, sockets etc. like the current ones?

Tables, no - it's a coach.

Everything else, yes (and far more comfortable seats!)

Thanks for the sharing information Dan

Can we keep them with that livery because it suits the coaches so well.

Looking forward to seeing them in X-Lines!


Edit:

Whats the capacity?, as its 7 coaches coming up, what will take the spare role?

Wey, until recently buses didn't have tables either! 

Wonder if one can have an adventure on the X21 at some point, although that seems about as likely as getting an open top down there!

Although it would be good to see them on other routes its really likely they'll just stay on the X9/X10.


I never knew how big they were until i seen it from the door side.... haha

Aye was about to say - nae chance GNE are launching Interdeck coaches onto one of their flagship routes with that livery. 

Fantastic to see coaches on the X9/X10 now though - travel frequently on the Buchan Xpress batch operated by Stagecoach Bluebird and they've still got an enormous amount of power behind them. Their reliability is also pretty good, and the ride quality is second to none.

Do we have any interior pictures? Had a quick look about but couldn't see any

Might do a quick photoshop, see what the X-Lines livery would look like on them (presumably they'll keep the same style!)

Dont think they'd want a coach sitting around as I'm sure the coaches will cope much better than the current B5s, maybe keep a B5 as spare. Wonder if 4 of the current X9/X10 buses will end up on X5/X15?
