(21 May 2022, 7:07 am)L469 YVK wrote Hopefully the 7x StreetDecks (assuming all of the Consett 'X-Lines' routes will be E400MMC operated) will actually be put to good use.Why re-brand a already branded route (47/X5/X15 have already been re-branded twice in the past 2 years)
If they were do to something daft, my prediction would be them ending up on the 47 or a split between the X5/X15 and random spares at Washington.
Sensible option would be 6362 & 6363 to Washington for the X1 forming the PVR of 14x alongside 6364-75. 6376 spare with 6333 as another spare too.
Then for the following:
- X21 - 6331, 6332, 6356-61, 6377
- 47 - 6308-13
- X5/X15 - 6045-48
- CON Spares (Euro 6) - 6064, 6350, 6351
- CLS Spares (Euro 6) - 6314, 6333, 6334
Maybe start some new routes...from Sunderland or Durham. Although I would put more 2x Streetdecks on X21 just for the PVR
