If you think the X21/X22 are bad, I suggest visiting Darlington and seeing our rotten Omnicitys on the MAX X26/X27 and X66/X67.

Ashington seem to have got majority of them sorted out. They were hideously unreliable when they first went Sapphire, though I feel that the absence of 7504 for a while initially made it a lot more noticeable. 

However, as much as they now seem pretty reliable, a couple still don't seem very good for an 'express' route, which is what I have more of an issue with. (Although, having said that, when compared to a Blyth Gemini, there's only ever one winner. Hate pretty much everything about those things.)
