Hopefully the X24 does well enough to warrant something else. There seems to be at least one Omnilink off the road on a daily basis, which isn't ideal for a service the company has put a lot of thought (and money) into.

Happy to stand corrected on my initial thoughts about timekeeping issues, as it still seems to cope fairly well at peak times (within the traffic commissioner's window, anyway!) The reliability of the Scanias seems pitiful though - but I think that's the same with most of the Scania Omni single-decks in the region...

28034 is today's gas bus on the X24, with 34605 allocated to service 20 as a result. So two Omnilinks missing today...
