Not sure what the PVR of the X24 will be, i'll say it'll take around 60 minutes, on the proposed half hourly frequency with a PVR of 4 - 2 spares...


But ye i agree, X24.

End-to-end time seemed very tight on last hearing, but they haven't released the timetable yet so won't say anything on that one! PVR I'm not sure of either. I was going on two on the back of timing suggestion. Two and one spare may fit for these three - but one spare is a bit drastic given the type of vehicle which could easily be substituted with an Enviro.

I'm very surprised they've took them on, they are very thirsty, which was one of the reasons for their replacement - and for being pretty tired. The new MD obviously wanting more of his native Scottish vehicles, but all variety at the end of the day.

Suggestion from a driver who has put a photo on his Facebook says the X24.
