I agree that Blyth don't exactly allocate perfectly but it is pretty rare for a non-X10/X11-branded bus to be on that route.
It's not anywhere near uncommon for non-MAX vehicles to be on X7/X8/X9, for example, but it generally goes that the X10/X11 gets first pick. I've only ever personally seen a non-premium vehicle on X10/X11 maybe once whereas it's pretty much 50-50 whether or not the X8 shows up with a MAX vehicle.
