What would you allocate B9s if you had a choice?
While I do think that the "Pronto" X21 can fill up a double decker quite easily, this tends to be between Newcastle and Durham, and I doubt many of these passengers are fare paying customers. There are also times of day when I think all the X21 can justify is a single decker.
I admit that Go North East do need to consider the total number of passengers when deciding to 'upgrade' a service, but I think it was a pretty big push to give the X21 Citaros, nevermind being able to justify B9s.
