4848, 4849 and 4904 were all on the X70/X71 the other day, and coped quite well!
I think the best thing would be a mixed allocation, the overall PVR of X30/X31/X70/X71 is 9. I would suggest sourcing 5 Deckers from somewhere, second hand. And then using 4 Solars from fab56. Brand all 9 again as West Durham Swift, hopefully to give some service reliability which has deteriorated recently.
However it's rumoured that Omnicity from the 309/310 will be heading to Stanley for X30/X31.
