Enviro 400MMC's for the X10
Enviro 400MMC's for the X10
Apparently 2 400MMC's are in the base livery for the X9 and X10 due to the Coaches not being a reliable recovery to the services.
May not be true but this is being rumoured

(19 Dec 2021, 8:33 pm)Keeiajs nice...would much rather have E400's than coaches.people are thinking this because of those 400MMC's. we will have to wait and see for what happens next
Would it not be better to have 6377 in it?
Might be 6352/3 they have been off for over a week of X84/85 wonder what will replace them, I mean its not like they need double deckers but still, there has been laods of versa's on them.

(19 Dec 2021, 8:51 pm)streetdeckfan And what is the source for this rumour?I agree, but two exact X85/4 which were removed from service the exact same day, connective fleet numbers..seems a bit..
Seems highly improbable to me, if they were going to put a couple E400s on, they'd probably put them in generic charcoal so they could be moved later without another paint job

Seems Dan has commented on the post on the North East Bus enthusiast Facebook page, about the E400MMC's going on the X84/X85:
Vanity project? Wasn’t it a Group-led decision to swap 9 new StreetDecks from GNE for 7 leased coaches from OBC, due to there being limited scope for capex but Oxford had contracts to fulfil? Not sure where the vanity is there!
The X9/X10 services have been given every opportunity to fully recover (reinstatement of full timetable, coach allocation, increased marketing drive) but the crux of it is that the passenger numbers aren’t there to warrant a renewal of the lease. It is sensible during these times of uncertainty that GNE reviews suitability and re-allocates existing resource accordingly.

Wonder where the other 3 E400MMC's will come from?

Im sure I read somewhere that it's GAG's policy for the group to buy the vehicles outright then for the subsidiary to lease from the group

(19 Dec 2021, 9:30 pm)Michael Wonder where the other 3 E400MMC's will come from?That would likely be 6338-40 if PVR is 7x with 6336/37 in turn providing low height spares at Consett for the X30's/X70's.

If this is true I’m starting to think those union members who were saying that GNE were spending too much money on paint might have a point. We’ve already seen a quick change on the X5/X15 now this.
I’m not sure they’ve really given enough time for stuff to work, either loadings on the X84/X85 or the X9/X10, how long as there really been when buses have been completely normal - no social distancing, no masks, no working from home/distance learning, no general thoughts that people should take leisure travel a bit steady, no shortages of drivers making travel unreliable - I think it’s amounted to a few days!
