I've said something similar previously.
The X1 (now X12) and the X10 did just that.
Hard slog up and down the A19, followed by recovery on the slower and easier X1.
Presumably, operators don't believe in interworking like they did previously.
However, they do seem to prefer slogging a vehicle to death rather than making the interworking a feasible alternative.
It's ironic that the operators laziness, sees them kill their vehicles. Whereas the exact opposite, would surely prolong the reliability of them.
Having a uniformed fleet doesn't fix reliability though.
