Go North East seem to like repainting buses every 5 years and 6001-6007 will be 5 years old next year and the Presidents will have been on the X21 for 5 years so I wonder if this could potentially mean investment in these routes or at least the Red Arrows could get repainted.
I think if the X1 does actually get new buses next I think some will go on the X21 and the rest will maybe the rest would go on an unbranded route, not sure what but these could be some potential candidates I think: 14/X22, 15/15A, X25, X30/X31, X70/X71.
This is what I think I'll Happen - 6001 - 6004 will transfer to Percy Main for DFDS seaways service 327, 6005 and 6006 transfer to Riverside to replace 3941 (To Crook to act as a spare) and 3964 (To Percy Main, to help out 6116 and 6117 as a spare for Cobalt Clipper). 6049 - 6050 to Crook for Pronto Service X21. I think the Omnidekkas will probably make up the full allocation for services X30/X31/X70/X71.
