(13 Apr 2015, 7:06 pm)Jimmi People are probably going to dismiss this as rubbish but part of me is thinking that the Red Arrows B9s could potentially go on the X21 and some other services next year and the X1 could maybe get new stock next year as don't GNE usually like to repaint their buses every 5 years which is how old the older examples will be next year, also does the X21 really justify brand new double deckers when on evenings and Sunday's the X21 interworks with the 21 using the Angel Hybrids. With the DDA deadline approaching GNE will probably have to find some double deckers from somewhere as I can't see the likes of the 14/X22, X25 and short 9s really justifying brand new double deckers. There may be more cascades coming before the end of 2016 but there may not, we'll just have to wait and see.
And now everyone probably thinks I've gone mad again.

As for the B&H Omnidekkas coming to Go North East, looks like the Examples that were on the 12 which now has StreetDecks have cascaded onto other B&H Services, thus Displacing Dennis Trident/Plaxton President for Disposal, could Go North East be getting these instead as a Temporary Stop Gap.
