If it was as profitable as some people think it is, why would you give up the corridor to GoNorthEast and enter a partnership with a 25% frequency reduction at the same time? Not to mention the fares are nearly half the price (literally) of something like the X10/X11/X21/X22 which have similar loads.
6x B9TL's I wouldn't be surprised to go either, with them heading to Kent or wherever to join their sister vehicles. They're going to be an awkward microfleet otherwise. Also remember that the Temsa's need to be replaced still aswell as they've been withdrawn by temporary cuts to the 63.
Temsa have been replaced by pulsars 1370 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 86 are the replacements
