But I do think 6 MMC's designated as spare is too many. If fleet standardisation is still something GNE are bothered about it'll be the Streetdecks leaving Consett but I can't see the obsessive X21 swap happening.
Speaking of the X21, a quick check of BusTimes shows that over the past week, on a daily basis there has only been 1 Omnidekka or B7 a day covering (except last Tuesday there were 2 but there were none on Wednesday). I definitely think the only change we'll be seeing there is 6332/33 moving to Chester as spares.
That's unpossible, the B5s are horrendously unreliable and must be removed from the X21 immediately! /s
