More a case of not limiting the amount of vehicles that can be used on the service. If the X7 was registered as one full route rather than as a split service, then only vehicles fitted with tachographs could operate the service, and considering Deptford only have 4 tahco-fitted buses (Laser Citaro 5301/2/5 and Northern SPD 8234), operating it would have been tricky without moving buses around.
What has Deptford got to do with the X7?
X7 to be Peterlee-run yes? Considering Deptford do Peterlee's engineering work, have tacho-fitted buses on the X7 would limit the choice of loan bus to those listed unless major fleet changes took place to get Northern Tacho vehicles to Deptford/Peterlee.
