On another note referring to the Rare and Odd workings thread, I think the Streetdeck will more than likely be kept and become a spare for the X21 but on the otherhand, the X21 (full route) doesn't operate on evenings and Sundays either. Therefore, I don't know if GNE are due anymore Omnidekkas ut if they are, one could perhaps become a spare with 9119 seing use elsewhere or returned to Wrightbus.
A spare OmniDekka for the X21, should more arrive, would be a good idea in my opinion. While it's not to the same vehicle specification as the Streetdecks will be; an OmniDekka shouldn't have any issues with the route, as they've proved themselves to be workhorses that rarely seem to have any issues, which has led to a popularity amongst enthusiasts. This could allow 6038 to be transferred elsewhere, as 6024/34/35/37/40/41 probably will when the Streetdecks arrive.
