X1 & X20 worked fine. Rest are just getting worse day by day.

Different buses to the X21
X9 withdrawn as mentioned & X10 down to 2 hours on a Sunday. Plus not to mention the failed Coaches

Wasted money on the X84/X85

X47 was pointless as its now stand alone alongside the 47A. Wouldn't be surprised the X47 makes a return with the withdrawn of the 47A and the 47 non stopping between Newcastle & Metrocentre (yes that's what warrant the X45/X46)

X30/X31 I can't really fault as I see them as good routes.

X5/X15 upgraded to Volvo B5LH for no reason whatsoever (find me a reason what the StreetDeck were doing wrong)

Can't really comment on the X70/X71 as I've never used them

From someone at Consett. the MMC's saved you getting a fright of your life on the X71. Its lower height to the previous allocation of the ex London Gemini 2's so your not bashing into trees as much. Was a massive upgrade to the X70/X71 biggest it ever saw!

X5/X15 to B5LH will be the same reason why they arrive on the 16. Streetdecks are Euro 6 so can become new spares at Washington for the X1 (if they ever do appear) but used on 50 with Omnidekkas, i guess its to prevent the Omnidekkas and Citaros from appearing on the route (X1).

47/47A are good routes with the B9's. plenty of uphill thrash! however it sucks that the 47A is going as many people loved the return of the ''46A'' in my area
