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.
The Scania N250UD E400MMC is no longer produced, so that won't be an option. There was going to be a double deck Scania Fencer but it has never materialised up to now, and certainly the electric double deck version has already been confirmed as no longer going ahead.
