(24 Dec 2022, 9:44 am)Unber43 wrote Thats just going to have knock on cancellations for X71/X72 passengers with X45/47 being hammered with delays all the time, and at every 30 mins I don't think single deckers are good enough for the 12, the 6 is already rammed a lot of the time, that could do with deckers

If anything, the X71 & X72 would both have long layovers at Consett and Stanley retrospectively so plenty of recovery time for delays. 

Given the nature of the 47 and X45 and serving the Metrocentre, delays at certain times are always going to be inevitable. GNE could throw every resource going and they'd still have delays at certain times.

The 6 definitely doesn't warrant double deckers though!
