But what are they going to do with 7+ StreetDecks? The 47 isn't a strong enough route for these and they exactly match the 'X-Lines' spec.

You wouldn't think GNE would withdraw 10 year old B5LH's but they are a very difficult and complicated vehicle type to support. Obviously it would only be 6x getting withdrawn leaving 9x, but would still go some way.

Lets not forget that Riverside are going to need an extra B9TL for the 58 extension as well as an extra spare. These can only come from 6043-48. Riverside's (incl Hexham's) total Euro 6 decker PVR is 44. With 1x spare needing to be allocated to the 10/10A/10B, this would leave 3x B9TL and 2x E400MMC meaning a spare ratio of 8.8:1 .
