Also I could be wrong, but I think some of the main issues with the MMCs are electrical rather than mechanical.
FWIW, I think they're very good buses, but it is clear they have some issues.
Wrightbus are still offering the Daimler OM936 7.7L variation of the Wright Streetdeck however other than GNE's order of 6377 and an order from Bus Vannin there hasn't been any other orders for it in the UK, The other one ordered was a Demo for KMB in China which has since returned to the UK and is now with Ensignbus.
I personally think Go North East made a mistake in 2019/2020 in ordering E400MMC's/OM934 Streetdecks for the X-Lines Services, they should've ordered more of OM936 Streetdecks despite it being an unproven type at the time.
