Isn't this one originally intended to be one of those to be allocated to Redcar for use on services 81/81a? ( Well that's where you can find the Redcar deckers!)

Few questions as I'm struggling to understand how the rotas on the 33, 57/57A, X14, X15 and X18 work.
How can the drivers do a Morpeth-Berwick and back, without having a break, as it would be past the maximum legal driving times.
Also, how the the 33/57/X14 rotas work from Blyth? Can't understand it.
Hope everyone will make a good recovery after that incident on Teesside.
Don't the X15 and X18 relieve in Alnwick?
Also, im sure the 33, 57 and X14 are Ashington operated. The 57 is shared with Blyth.

(28 Mar 2014, 9:54 pm)Davey Bowyer I do understand but how are operators going to cope where they need the capacity of a heavyweight double deck vehicle but can't justify the expense of an Astromega and can't compromise capacity by operating a heavyweight single deck vehicle? Are they going to operate a lightweight double deck vehicle and suffer from frequent reliability problems or will frequencies be increased with a heavyweight single deck vehicle like the B8RLE at a loss? Do you really want to know who I'm angry with becuase of all of this emissions crap? Brussels!

If the source on here from the other day was correct about the X18 being changed from B9TL to E400's, with Ariva ordering 6 in Sapphire spec for the X21 and X22, will they take the plunge and do the same with the X18?
Also, what other routes in the "Northumbria" area do you think will get a sparkle in the near future? I'd say that the next likely candidate will be the the X10 and X11. I'd also say that the 308 could be a potential candidate too but I don't know whether or not the B5LH could have power sockets fitted.

agreements, how do you know that they are not planning to address it?
