RE: Go North East: 2015/16 Financial Year Order Predictions
(22 Dec 2015, 9:24 pm)R852 PRG wrote I'd have hoped that any further cascaded OmniDekkas from Brighton & Hove would be direct replacements for the remaining Lolynes and Olympians in the fleet. Makes it easier than a massive shuffle around as is being suggested.
I think the ''Red Arrows'' will stay as it is, as other things need priority. The TTX being an example of one. I wish Go North East could have trialled the Enviro400MMC on the X9/X10 as well as the X21, to give another comparison of that with the Streetdeck, and it would be nice to see the Scania-powered E400MMC that citaro5284 mentioned the other day, and for that to see use on the X9/X10. Would give further options for any possible investment in the future, as I honestly don't think Streetdecks could cope.
The reason I posted this was because 6001has gained advertisement boards, while 6004 hasn't. Of course, it may just be so that it will be like 3943, and have adverts as well as Redarrows branding, or it may be coming off the service.

X9/X10 will need new buses soon as if those B9s stay on the TTX for much longer they will start to become a irritant with breakdowns, seen a few breakdowns recently on there and no amount of spare corporate B9s with tachograph's will keep the branded examples in perfect working order.
Good. I think the B9s are suitabke for the X1, and Go North East would probably only replace the with Streetwrecks anyway.
