(08 Jul 2016, 7:22 pm)NK53 TKT wrote I don't know as the X16 isn't actually marketed as a MAX route

(09 Jul 2016, 8:28 am)Designline wrote so does that mean the two max pulsar may get moved to another depot

(10 Jul 2016, 8:22 am)Designline wrote I know it sounds like ludicrous idea but to me it makes sense, shouldn't NK06 GXG (4653) and NK05 GXO (4659)migrate south of Tyne to join the others and send two pulsars north for the X14. (Sorry if it is only me that thinks that but it make logical and mechanical sense)

(10 Jul 2016, 12:14 pm)Jimmi wrote Been a few people suggest that, a flaw in that plan is I think 1406/1416 now have next stop announcement screens. 1406 also has USB ports.

The 64 going half hourly will take buses of the pvr.
As they have 1906,4512 to act as spares while pulsars get wifi i think these may leave.
Does anyone know if anybus is leaving from the redcar bus changes

(10 Jul 2016, 8:38 am)South Tyne Lad wrote It's not ludicrous idea at all, Voith Gearboxes are a lot better at climbing Large banks than ZFs, Which the scanias have.
A Euro 5 E400 stalled on the bank around crag side a few weeks ago due to the Eco setup of the gearbox not doing it any good on Large banks like that.

Pulsars are also have a great turn of speed, Which comes in handy for a route like the X14

(10 Jul 2016, 8:42 pm)streetlite5402 wrote I think the opposite. From my experience, Voiths are generally best kept to city and town routes while ZFs seem to perform at their best on country roads and steep banks.
