OM934 Cylinder StreetDeck:
- 21, 27, 56, 58, 309/310/311/X39, X45, X46
OM936 StreetDeck:
- X9/X10 (if returned from Coaches in future), X21
ADL E400MMC:
- 10/10A/10B/10X, X1, X30/X31, X47, X70/X71
The X47 is hardly a demanding route, I think the 4 cylinder StreetDeck is more than adequate. The only part I would consider anywhere near demanding would be the bank from Blackhall Mill to Chopwell

Now they've made such a fuss about them getting coaches for the X9/X10, it'd be a PR disaster to replace them with anything but another coach!

I'll have to give them a try, but I've used the 49 quite a few times today and yesterday and they were absolutely awful!
