The fact that the service would be run by modern gas buses could lead to more people willing to give the service a go instead of taking their car. Wifi would also be available to passengers (which is a near-essential on a Newcastle express service).

They wouldn't last, plus they'll be no spares for the 3/12/13/16/20 then, meaning normal enviros will have to be allocated. (although that happens sometimes but rarely).

I agree with Dans_bus_photos, the X24 will probables be allocated the E200's.. although they won't last, hopefully of the route is sucessful, they'll get new buses.
