Enviro 400MMC's for the X10
Enviro 400MMC's for the X10
(29 Dec 2021, 12:51 am)jason85 Had a look at the timetable for 1 Feb and it seems a 6 min turnaround in Middlesbrough. The old TTX had 10 minutes and was often very late leaving, hence the 25 min turnaround in 2017. Could lead to some problems.I might be wrong, but I'm fairly sure it's 16 minutes at both ends?
Can’t help wondering what happens when numbers increase again (which they will, especially when Northern are cancelling services so frequently)
(29 Dec 2021, 1:29 am)Andreos1 I always preferred the X9 over the X10 if I could choose between the two.It's not something GNE would've done without much consideration.
Forgetting about leasing costs, vehicle reliability, driver availability, roadworks on the A19 and Covid for a moment, I've got to ask the question about the decision to get rid of the X9 temporarily during the pandemic and look at the part that decision has made on getting rid of it permanently.
Consolidation in to one vehicle and reducing costs may look good on paper, but I can't see it paying off longer term.
