Chester previously had the Volvo hybrids so their engineering team will at least be familiar them. If anything, I would have expected the refurbed B5s to go on the X84/X85 as to keep Volvos together at Hexham and newer StreetDecks to go onto the X21 but that would still leave an imbalance with the numbers of E400s to go round so a service may have ended up with a mixed allocation if I've tallied the PVRs up right.

I wonder if the thought of my perpetual complaints about banging my head if they put low height E400s on the X21 may have factored into it!
