That's true, imagine having to replace at least 100 buses a year, of the same kind.

No further StreetDecks have arrived.
They weren't at the docks - they were in an industrial estate at Newtownabbey, being PDI'd.

BIB: X7 can't be operated by deckers due to a low bridge on the route between Ryhope and Seaham
BII: I see, if the 21 does get new stock (and it would need more than 17 - given the PVR at present is 17, I would guess 20 giving an extra spare for the X21), I can't see the B5LHs going on 35/36 or 6/X70/X71/X84/X85. 27s anyone?

You could start a new thread in the Go North East : Other Discussion section
Then maybe 6 Streetdeck for X9/X10 with B9s going into spare role for 21 and X21...
