I must admit, I do still like a ride on a B9 every now and then, but I find them a bit cramped upstairs, especially the refurbed Cobalt ones, but upstairs is still the place to be as the engine is a bit too loud downstairs,
If they did the StreetDeck/Stealth Gemini 3 body on a B9, I think that would be perfect!

During peak times, the extra X21s between Durham and Newcastle are definitely needed, but I do agree that during off peak times they're not really needed.

I've always thought this, the B9 would be perfect with a Gemini 3 body mounted to it. Despite its build quality flaws, I still think the Gemini 3 is the best Euro 6 body you can get. It feels very premium, unlike the plastic feeling MMC. The Cobalt's probably feel cramped due to the pitch of the seats maybe. 

I've seen it mooted that Daimler and Wright may not be continuing to work together but rather the Integrals will be with Cummins units, I'm not sure how true this is but if it is, I'll be looking forward to this. The DB300 was a great bus. Sturdy, reliable and good on the diesel.
