Most of it is just single road and not as much as a dual carriage way but it is a long way and i doubt it'll take too long before problems start to occur. Im sure the 09 reg examples will do it no problem, just like they do on the X18 now. And as i was saying before, i was just up at Berwick last week and every single X15 i saw was a Coach which is what made me think that the X15 was allocated Coaches rather than E400s.
I think they've done as much as they could have, the four E400's that were branded for X93 are now allocated to a service that is not challenging at all really. The three that will be refurbished for the X15 haven't been on the X93 anywhere near as much. I think the allocation is currently coaches, hence why you only saw these when you were in Berwick but it will change when the route gets the MAX vehicles
