Edit: Another point of discussion is the use of the Citaros on the X21. I can fully understand the want to upgrade the quality on this route but some of the loadings will be way too high for these to handle. They currently use deckers and one has to be duped from Spennymoor upto Durham due to college students.... How are Citaros meant to handle loadings over 100?
Could use 3963 and 3964, I know 3964 is branded TTX and it's a Spare but how often does it actually see use on the X9/X10, It's off route more than anything else. Take today for example 3964 was Parked on the Layover at Gateshead when I passed through today at around 1pm, it was still sitting there when I came back through just after 4pm.
