GNE Questions about fleet withdrawals/buses VOR/fleet questions
(31 Mar 2023, 3:16 pm)Unber43 With the X20/39 the branding has been moved, and for the X20 the vehicles have actually been sold.The X20 vehicles were money pits in terms of both fuel and maintenance.
Also when the 20 was 12 to 15, and now is Permanent GNE never told anyone that it was permanent.
"Does the X1 need more capacity in any sections? I’m sure this forum has previously mooted ideas of shorts between Newcastle and Washington, but is it required?"
The Newcastle to Washington section can be pretty busy, even off peak, but that tends to happen when there has been disruption to the service. Probably far better for the actual timetabled services to all run as planned than overstretch, though I can see the potential benefit of peak shorts and matchday duplicates.
