When Arriva are trying to improve services, that would be a massive step back. It would also be a bit of a bad move to take Sapphire away from those passengers, and instead use pretty much what used to be used on the X21- ALX400's, B10BLE's and Pulsars...The thing is though is that particular section of the X21 route is only a small part. And although passengers are just tolerating the de-tour now (or even just not using the bus), people from Bedlington Stn, Stakeford, parts of Ashington and particularly Newbiggin were very p****d off with Arriva when they first changed it.
