On the note of 6 joining, I remember originally that they were listed on the orders for the X18. The only thing that I can think off is that they would be ordered on the basis of the X18 still continuing to Berwick every 2 hours however; due to the changes that will happen next Sunday, as much as it would be desired, it would be pointless ordering them for the X18 if for most of the time, they won't be pushed and used to their full potential. I also remember people stating that the X93 wouldn't justify new vehicles due to the winter but that must've also changed.
Yeah, I can remember the conversation well.
At the time, it was stated that due to low numbers and lack of revenue in the winter months, new vehicles wouldn't be bought for the service and it would be cascades from elsewhere.
