- What is happening with X84/5 (fleet allocation) ?
- What will the X9/10 get allocation wise?
- What will happen to the coaches
- Is GNE getting anything from other operators.

21 is another prime example ussed to be every 15 mins to Durham, now eveery 30 mins.

- Unsure about X84/X85 allocation.
- X9 & X10 will get 6352-55 and if total PVR remains at 7x. (minus the temp full day X10E revisions), 6338-40 will likely fill the rest.
- Coaches will no doubt be returned somewhere and or sold.
- I doubt it unless older deckers for Misc work etc.

21 was initially dropped before COVID due to X21 frequency increase.

From travelling on both though, acceleration seems pretty similar and ultimately it's the same power unit so you'd hope they have similar gearing.

ANE used to order ZF boxes for the Classic E400. However, ZF & Stop/Start (=BSOG requirement) was not available until 2019. Therefore 7541-52 were Voith boxes.

All of GNE/EY E400MMCs as well as Transdev's since 2019 have been ZF boxes.

The 311 will never be withdrawn with the 310 doing a loop around Hadrian Park instead. The 311 has it's purpose for the simple reason that the 309/310/311 can offer a higher combined frequency on a lower PVR than the 309/310 previously did alone. Not also taking into account the extra cost of running the 'oddball' 57 that no one wanted to use as it didn't serve Haymarket.
