People will argue that B9TLs were the only choice for the Hills out of Blackhall Mill to Rowlands Gill but if that's the case,
How's the Streetdecks meant to cope with the X21 if they end up on them ( Or TTX )? with a route that has a few big inclines especially near Bishop Auckland and fast sections?
