It would be great to have Gas Buses on the E's & double decker's on the X24.

Was going to say it didn't make any sense for the X34s but surprisingly there's not much change in dead mileage between Horsley Hill - Wheatsheaf compared to Horsley Hill - Dean Road.  Even less difference from the Newcastle end.  Both are a bit longer though so presumably this is about creative accounting to balance books, rather than genuine cost savings.
