Yeah they were eating engines even on the X1 & X78 and they’re pretty flat by South Yorkshire standards!
Don’t know where you’d go next for the X93 but it needs a route to offload vehicles to every 4-5 years - the X46 would be the ideal candidate but that’s going electric (assuming they get their Zebra2 bid money) so that’s no good… the B9s are now 9 years old this summer and past their best - though still putting in sterling service compared to the B7s! Sadly the seasonal nature of it means you can’t really buy a full new fleet every time but certainly could justify 5/6 full timers and cascade the older stock onto a less demanding route.
