Just totally throwing it out there but I think either the people who run the GNE Facebook page have either been fed false information or there may actually be cascades for the 6/X70/X71, and if there is, the fact that the timetables have a picture of a B9 on them makes me wonder, what do we think the possibility is that Davey has gotten his wish of new buses for the X1 (or another B9 route although I think the X1 is the most likely) with the B9's being cascaded to another route, possibly at least some for the 6/X70/X71. Obviously Omnideckkas would have to be used for the moment but I think the Red Arrows B9s could maybe find their way onto these routes in the near future. This is purely just wild speculation from me and I am probably over thinking this so chances are it won't be true, but it could be?
I think that Go North East will be referring to the Volvo Olympians and Dennis Tridents which have been withdrawn as a consequence of the entry into service of the ex-Brighton Scania OmniDekkas, rather than providing a comparison compared to the Mercedes Citaros used on the service at present.
