Had a thought about them going on the X30/X31 but given some other potential single decker cascades this year, I don't see why the Omnicities would need cascading.The stanley expresses should be the same brand with the 6 inclusive. Especially since they cut down the X30/X31 route. The toon link idea never struck me as a good one. They share the same vehicles at some point on the timetables so is odd to keep them separate brands.
I think out of all the B9 routes that it will be the Cobalt Clippers getting StreetDecks. GNE weren't going to fit them GKN mods for no reason and at the time of ordering, there were no suitable lightweight alternatives bar the Enviro 400 (no relationship between GNE and ADL).
But looking at the StreetDeck, the amount of fuel saved in terms of Percy Main's cost base would mean that if B9s went on the Coaster, the cost base taking the fuel savings into account would be the same if not, marginally higher compared to currently taking into account the extra capacity plus potential growth that the B9s would generate on the Coaster.
