Hope so. I had a feeling those B5s would end up at Consett for the X5/X15 and to make up the remaining PVR of the XLINES services, displacing either the enviro 200's or some streetlites

I would imagine they would like it even better if a couple of Mercs had come over from Washington as spares . But realistically they are for the 4

All day the 62 and 62a been solos now the streetlight is on when there’s even less passengers. Been a couple of deckers on the 63 today 
62 62a and 63 should all be solos with the Percy main switchover

Would they not be better used on the X45 - given the route was previously operated fine using Cummins StreetLites? Plus the added bonus they'd be parked up on a Sunday with the Enviros interworking with the X30 & X72.

Yes, Country Ranger was the old brand for the 8s
