The solution to older buses being used on the X10 and X21, as I have said before, is just to fix the problems that the allocated buses have. Not to move the problem elsewhere and hope for the best.

But literally everything has been on the X21 and still no success

- Ex London B7TL's
- 6301-07 and 6331-33 thrown in later down the line
- 6308-14
- 6356-63

Likewise.....the exact same 4x E400MMC (6352-55) are getting an almost daily pounding up and down the A19 with no relief other than from 6377.

Don't know which stop you're referring to unless it's the one before Ellison Road bridge on the X30/X31. But surely passengers woud use an alternative stop? Wouldn't also like to think about the costs associated with lost mileage either all the way down in Tessside or the Wear Valley including recovery.
