It's only an issue if the buses are actually meant to be on those routes though? The buses were purchased for the X21/X22 and there's been nothing else sent to Ashington, bar a whole load of Pulsar's which are not appropiate, to replace them off there.
Surely the discussion should be, we don't have enough deckers for the X14/X15/X18 and are having to take allocations off the X21/X22 which in turn means we are having overcrowding issues with saloons on peak runs? Therefore it's unreliable saloons leaving, especially the 4 which were traded for the E400MMC's which were sent to Whitby which arguably led to the shortages in the first place...
