Surely if they did struggle Go North East would have looked to replace them, like they did with the Volvos off the Wear Tees Express.

Same engine, But with a 6 speed ZF Ecolife in it instead of the Voith.
It's also not limited to 50mph unlike the Streetdecks.

It can be if specified, But the demonstrator isn't.

Do buses have to be limited to 50mph to claim the BSOG grant?
I know the E200MMC with the ZF AS-Tronic Gearboc qualifys for BSOG but is not limited to 50.

They wouldn't last 5 minutes. The B9TLs are already dying a slow death, and they're not even 5 years old.

Do buses have to be limited to 50mph to claim the BSOG grant?
I know the E200MMC with the ZF AS-Tronic Gearboc qualifys for BSOG but is not limited to 50.

No, vehicles qualify as below, so by limiting the vehicle, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved:

From April 2009, operators of Low Carbon Emission Buses (LCEB) have been eligible for an additional payment of 6p per kilometre. An LCEB is a bus that is able to achieve a 30% reduction in its Greenhouse Gas Emissions compared to an average Euro 3 diesel bus of the same total passenger capacity. 
A vehicle will not qualify as an LCEB simply by using a fuel type which allows it to achieve a 30% reduction in its Greenhouse Gas Emissions, unless the fuel it uses is a biogas. 
In order to identify that a particular vehicle is eligible for the LCEB incentive, the vehicle’s manufacture will need to issue the bus operator with a certificate, certifying the vehicle as an LCEB based upon an independently witnessed emission test of a vehicle of the same type. An original certificate must be provided for every LCEB purchased by a bus operator. However, there is no requirement for each individual bus to be tested. The process is based on a type approval.
