Probably as quick as they are at updating the app. They still haven't added the new stops in Tindale Crescent


Also, there's no Southbound X21s showing on the app, only northbound

I don’t think so. There’s plenty of services between S shields and Sunderland and capacity between Sunderland and Durham is fine so I don’t think it needs an upgrade, more chance 49&X66 getting Deckers new than 20 and that’s not very high.

49 is barely half full during the day, the only time it gets full is when the school's start and finish.
X66 could probably do with deckers, but I don't think they'd get under the bridge

That’s ashame , unless service 20 scales back to run every 15 minutes with extra capacity for passengers, there’s been a few services that have been downgraded in the past (wasn’t service 35/36 got downgraded over time?).

Yes it was from mercs to L94, however mercs were used to standardise and upgrade other services. Cant see frequency or the buses being reduced or downgraded. Most likely the X1 B9s will be used to withdraw older vehicles or become spares for other DD services

Well with 5420 being one of the Streetlites to go to Riverside from Deptford I would say 5409 to 5419 will be in line to join it once new vehicles arrive for the Red Kite.

Which single deck services at Riverside have a combined PVR of 12?

With regards to the rumour of the Red Arrows B9's going on the 20, 14 making up a PVR of 17, you'd have another 4 spare B9's if the Red Kite gets new buses so there is 18 B9's to cover a pvr of 17.

Whatever they end up on, the engine management will need looking at. 
I've commented more than once about the power (or lack of) at key times and it was mentioned once something had been done to them, which limits their performance.

I had an Omnidekka once and it left the B9's standing on the A182 slip roads.
