Got up to 60-65 no bother at all. The thought "They would make excellent vehicles for the X20 on a permanent basis" passed through my head. Might have been pushed that bit too hard
Also explains why a 14 Reg Sapphire was covering on the X18, Sapphire Spare 7519 was also on the X15 today.

There was a VDL Gemini in Ashington's depot this morning, parked next to the training buses, there for testing I assume?
