Given the age and nature of the vehicles utilised on the X21 between Durham and Newcastle, allocating MMCs onto the Newcastle X12 workings could be a good move if Arriva were able to do it on a regular basis.
No doubt changes would be registered within days for the Derwentside - Newcastle services (releasing E400MMC's) if GoNE got wind of ADC looking to run the X12's on a full 30 minute frequency using some E400MMC's!
The competition would serve GoNE right though for the way they've ran the X21 in recent years, with vehicles (StreetDecks & B5TLs) clearly not cut out for the route!
