The fact the original Ashington batch are going strong on the X18 as are 7505/6 (which were originally Blyth based) yet Redcar's 6 are knackered should point out where the issue lies - not in their engines more in the engineering department at Redcar depot.
These days, it's more economy that's the focus. Doesn't mean the more economic engines can't still have the power (Scania still offer a 320bhp engine for their range although all depends whether the UK opinions still have Scania engines rather than Cummins).
I agree
- I've used them on the X18 a few times up to Alnwick and they've been fine, even though the Lowlanders perform better, and I prefer 'em.
