Yep this is certainly true, there's already been two breakdowns on the X1 since Monday now, 1594 is around 40.000Miles behind the rest due to the amount of problems it's had. 1592 seems to be the best of the batch at the moment, although Voith have been out a few times recently with that one. Bearing in mind their are 15 05REG omnicitys at Darlington and 5 15REG Streetlites, an Engineer was telling me that The omnicitys have been doing fine recently with just one or two of the road daily now, with some examples covered over 2 Million Kilometres since New. I wouldn't want to see what the Streetlites are like on the X1 in Three years time never mind 15. At Least the X1 drivers are doing their best to kill them, and at least they'll get a more capable Pulsar instead, which at the moment is nearly every few days.
