Although GoNE & Go-Ahead group have started over recent years to move vehicles around divisions.
By that point the B9s will be nearing the end of their life, and in order to keep the X-Lines network as 'premium', I suspect they may want to upgrade those and cascade the still relatively new StreetDecks and E400s to the likes of Cobalts, TVT and 56.
As for routes with single deckers, I think we'll continue to see a move away from them, like we've seen with the Crusader, X84/X85, and potentially still the 93/94.
With the Minibuses, it'd be a like-for-like replacement really, unless they move to the short E200s or StreetLites from the Solos, which we could possibly see for standardisation.
