Wonder if one can have an adventure on the X21 at some point, although that seems about as likely as getting an open top down there!

Might do a quick photoshop, see what the X-Lines livery would look like on them (presumably they'll keep the same style!)

Fantastic to see coaches on the X9/X10 now though - travel frequently on the Buchan Xpress batch operated by Stagecoach Bluebird and they've still got an enormous amount of power behind them. Their reliability is also pretty good, and the ride quality is second to none.

Tri-axle vehicles, albeit not quite as long, have been tested on the whole route and there aren't any other issues.

All have now been re-registered (OW15 Wxx) prior to transfer north.
(08 Jul 2020, 7:09 pm)Michael wrote When will they transfer north?Think they have a separate rota, I wonder if it'll go back to 1 full route and EU rules like it was before the split.
Just asking because they need repainting/checked over and then drivers to be trained on them.
For training, will a selected number of drivers be trained for them or will most drivers at Riverside be trained on them?
