Thats correct Stagecoach did run the X90 to York. The train saw it off. If GNE did a winter market style service to York they be better off running it down the A19 calling at the same places as the X11 did.
6122, 6123, 6133, 6136, 6137, 6138 & 6139 have all been purchased by Johnson Bros for School Work seeing off any remaining Step Entrance vehicles which includes former Go North East 3658 (C658 LJR) which is still going strong in 2021, hopefully someone will purchase it for preservation - https://www.flickr.com/photos/channel4sq...otostream/

Love the 3 ingle seats at the left upstairs front. Meant you didn't have to worry about anyone sitting next to you. Plus the 3 seater above the driver was very comfortable too....... not to sure about the plastic seats Northumbria put on back three rows though!

6301-6307 are all to leave Consett, 6056-6070 all are to be Consett based. RKR 47/47a to be B9 operated. (From an engineer at Consett).

(From an engineer at Consett).Looks like 6065 - 6068 could be for X5/X15. Also I wonder if 6043- 6049 could be for the 47/47A with 6064 and 6069 as spares and 6085 -6089 refurbished for the 10. Don't know what will happen to 6070 unless they are short elsewhere at Consett.
