I disagree - it couldn't have been avoided. If Go North East want to keep momentum on their X-lines project, then work had to commence now. The repainting of 6332/33 and the purchase of two new StreetDecks shows Go North East are willing to invest in this premium brand, but money doesn't grow on trees.
The Red Kite group of services probably make a lot more money than the X21 does, so why should the Red Kite have to receive older buses?
I see where you're coming from, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on the matter.
Surely it would have been possible to spec the new ones for the X21 to match the 67 plates, that would have avoided this discussion
