I think the PVR for the X21 is 6, although buses are often swapped over during the day, especially if it looks like it will arrive back in Bishop late.

I do hope the X21 gets some modern buses soon. The X30/X31, X70/X71 could do with more modern stock too.

I think it's likely that the X21 will this year or next, whether that's new buses or cascaded is clearly another matter mind. The V reg Presidents will be pushing 16 years on the road by the time of next years order, which is hardly ideal for a bus in a front line role..
