Rather than having just 6352-55 getting a daily hammering up and down the A19. Not forgetting there'd be enough on Sundays to allocate to the 10/10A/10B to save fuel and conserve the B9TLs.
The one we had on the X21 was fine, the only real issue was with the seats! Oh, and it allegedly broke down, but I'm sceptical whether that really happened as it seemed to drive back to the depot fine!
