Will Arriva eventually order new double decks for the X93/X94? Or are they waiting to see how the situation in Northumbria plays out when the line opens?

By the looks of it, must be confident that the X21/X22 will still perform well putting them both back to a 20 minute frequency. Don't think there'll be any E400MMC available for quite some time.

If Arriva do order 'new' for the X93/X94, the vehicle choice will be interesting. Only 1x 6 Cylinder StreetDeck in service throughout the UK. Whereas Stagecoach have several Scania N250UD E400MMC.
