But the 33 or 57A aren't busy enough to justify B8RLE's so the interworking pattern would have to looked at.
Yeah, I just think that B8RLE's would be needed, or something with similar power, as being pushed along the A1 all day will need a decent amount of speed.
Maybe the interworking could cease, with the X14/14 operating with a set of E400's and B8RLE'S
The 57A and 33 operating with MPD's, having driver breaks at Morpeth, I've noticed some very late (20+) 57A's recently, a long layover may help?
I think frequency /vehicle size on the 57 needs to be looked at as well, observed some canny loads in the holidays.
Edit: A.side point, referring to MPD's, I was on 1770 yesterday and it seemed like it was struggling, similarly 1771 drove past me the other day and sounded horrible. They all sound rough to be honest..
