But from a running cost & fuel economy perspective, why didn't Martijn target then the 56 and 309/310 with StreetDecks with the B9TL's heavily refurbished and used on the Derwentside work?
Surely the fuel savings over a 5 year period would be quite significant on the 56, 309/310 as opposed to routes with hills.
Probably due to the whole X-Lines branding, new brand = new buses.
