These 5 litre engines in deckers aren't suitable to the demanding route. That's why maybe they should try and get newer scania deckers 56 reg maybe from Brighton or B9s as these would be more suitable for the route
B9s would be ideal but unfortunately are not offered anymore unless GNE transfer some from another route or theres some dealer stock left ( which I doubt )
I never tried the B5TL on the X21 but going by your words it wasn't powerful enough so the streetdeck should be worse cuase its less powerful than the B5
56 reg scanias from brighton is a good idea but I don't think will happen, I think GNE would want to upgrade it to new vehicles.
