Hopefully with some TLC upcoming they'll manage whatever work they do next, I believe they're going on the 301 which needs the additional capacity given current loadings and frequency of the service, very much doubt they'll be moving onto the 307/309 as I think there is more chance of New EV's for these services in the future so they'll keep the B9's for now.
And the likelihood of them performing on the X10, after struggling on the 21 is what?
You're right, they're not cut out for the X10.
And they're not likely to work on the X10, if they're struggling to maintain reliability after allocation to a 20mph 21...
BTW, I've got no idea what's causing the issues.
But whether it's electrics, engine or wing mirrors - a fix is needed. Not a relocation.
