I said a while back they should get Yutong GT12's and up the frequency to every 30 minutes.
12m would fit in Eldon Square given that GNE have operated full length OmniDekkas from both Eldon Square and Haymarket.
IMO - they wouldn't be a bad purchase. 7-8 years on the X10, then could still probably ha e decent lifespans in them for even the likes of the Derwentside services etc.
Only way I could see this happening would be Washington & Riverside having no Diesel Ultroliners as spares - which doesn't make sense
Would be:
- 6x Consett - X45 + 1x spare
- 12x Washington - X1
- 7x Riverside - X21 with 6377 as part of PVR or X21 scaled back to Bishop Auckland
