The deckers in Whitby are not in a good state and majority of them are broken in Redcar depot. 

Not sure on the new enviros as 7575 seems to manage a few hours then disappears off tracking

7575 seems to just have a dodgy ticket machine, I've checked a few of the days where it's stopped tracking and nothing ever appears to replace it. 

Reports on the MMCs on there seem to be quite positive, and certainly from my experience of them on other express routes they're more than capable of intense work. 

Given the need for investment in Redcar generally, an order for 8 MMCs for the X93 would definitely solve some of the issues. If you then kept all 6 B9s there, you'd have a pool of 14 deckers for the X93, P&Rs, and X94. Obviously that's in a world where Arriva have the cash for that, though.
