If GNE were to target mass B9TL replacement, no doubt it would either be the 56 or Cobalt & Coast. B9TLs are overkill for both of them routes.

Oh definitely, I think the most we'll see is them getting the same basic refurb as the 56. Maybe, they might do the same as the Cobalts since it's a longer distance route but I personally can't see that happening in the current climate
