Presumably some Max branded pulsars...you would still need four additional Max branded buses to accommodate the X21 going Max...the Ecocity's currently on the route would displace pulsars from the 1/5/5a/12/19 or the 8/8a...the pulsars could go Max and then just swap with the Omnicities. It would probably make more sense given the fact that all the other single-deck Max buses in Newcastle and Northumberland are Pulsars!
