I still don't understand why we didn't go for the B9s from Yorkshire for the summer X93s, 1808 performed well when I rode it on there, sadly fear the fact the engine went during the trial made them an unattractive option compared to the B7s Arriva were gonna get for the North East anyway, so probs thought might as well use them, same spec (with addition of USBs) didn't help those B9s had already been refurbished so wouldn't have been a good case to then refurb them again.

I honestly don't know what Arriva could go with for the X93 now, E400s just die when they see a hill which is in no way ideal on the X93, I wasn't impressed with the StreetDeck demo on the hills either so that leaves not much suitable you could realistically go for, think E400s would have to suffice.
