* Fuel Economy
* Commonality (Modern fleet mostly Wright bodied with some Optare in the mix)
* Purchase cost
Hopefully, Go-Ahead management have learnt from the X21 / X9 / X10 and this time around, allow the purchase of a more suitable vehicle type.
Need to add reliability to the list of things considered as part of the evaluation of new buses - although Go North East have no experience of ADL double deck products in recent years, other parts of Go Ahead do.
