To be honest, if somebody was asking about the 6, then I don't think GNE would refer to the X70 / X71. Could well be the Red Arrows receiving new buses with 10x to Stanley, 6049/6050/6051 to Riverside for the TEN / TTX spares and 6052 to Percy Main as a Cobalt spare with a B7 joining alongside as well as a further 2x B7s going as DFDS grafters to replace 3866/3867. Then, 6084 would join the TEN on a full time basis and owing to the roadworks due to start on Norham Road, the PVR of the 309 / 310 will go up to 17 with only some journeys interworking.
