Ye it will but i think it's good that "Go North East" are upgrading the X5 to have WIFI, USB plugs etc, hopefully the Blaydon Racers Citaro's go the same way, so the route they're going on is upgraded.
Dan or Citaro, where are the other 2 Citaro's from the Durham Diamond going, along with 5337/38?, as i was hoping there would be a spare Citaro for the X5 with the same features, unless they use one of the spare Streetlites from Deptford on it as an allocation?, but that means between services the X5, 20/20A, 56 (sure it was mentioned, it would be last resort) and the 60, they'll only be 2 spares between 5 services..
