Also, what ones at Ashington are Tachographed and do you think Arriva will order the MMC and for what route.I think 7514-21 all are tachographed, I've seen quite a few on X15/18 in the past so I would assume most if not all have tachographs. As for 7501-13 (minus 7510) they are all tachographed, don't think 7522-7528 have any reason to be as they should only be on X21/22.
I don't think Arriva will be ordering any E400 MMC anytime soon. (What profitable routes can they be put on that aren't already operated by half decent deckers anyway)
