- Ex-london B7TL's - although did the job given their age.
- StreetDeck Gen 1's - Constantly off the road.
- B5TL's that got hammered on the X9 & X10.
Arriva Northumbria use E400MMC on their Alnwick & Ashington 'X' routes. Stagecoach use E400MMC on the 685.
I dare say that if you spoke to engineers at Consett, they’d tell you that E400MMCs aren’t the bees knees. No modern bus is really built for heavy endurance work.
The X21 in all honesty isn’t that bad, and the latest generation StreetDecks are fine on there (as indeed were the B5s).
