The ultimate in luxury connections with a range of 600NM and a cruising speed of 28 KNOTS you will sail between the Tyne and Tees in no time, No traffic delays, no diversions and no roadworks to contend with the future in connecting the north east is finally here! Don't Drive, Get Sailing!

That would look great in X-Lines colours. Which depot would it be allocated to though? I'd suggest moving the 6336-40 from Consett to Hexham and painting them blue and pink, that way you'd have space in Consett to store it and the yacht could even interwork with the 78/78a on Evenings and Sundays.
