Bar the B9's the X93/X94 rarely gets investment, second hand Omnicities, second hand Enviro 400's etc.
I think, if even to take stress away from the rest of the Redcar fleet, it's more beneficial to supply the X93 with new vehicles rather than hope 7 year old MMCs which have been flogged on express routes for 7 years straight still have it in them.
I'd say they are arguably more in need than Durham, and the B9s could replace the remaining B7s there for the time being?
