The thing we could really do with is some new single deckers somewhere within the North East to see off the Omni's at Darlington & Ashington.
A order of deckers for the X15/X18 and maybe X14/X20 would be close enough to see off the B7TLs in the fleet.
Seem as everyone forgets, the last new buses for Arriva North East was the 67 plate Lites at Darlington (delivered in 2018)
Any investment that is made is likely to be made in Tyneside for the impending Clean Air Zone.
Resultant re-allocations could still result in the disposal of the elderly Scania OmniCity at Darlington - could the MAX specification VDL Gemini not be a good fit for the X66 and X67? I don’t profess to use these services very often, but pre-Covid I’ve been on a few very busy single-decks...
