I don't think the 307/309 justify 'brand new' vehicles, but certainly decent ones.

It's the fuel economy side of things that makes them suited routes for Daimler StreetDecks though - including the ad-hoc / planned 35'X' workings.

GNE only bought B9TLs as they were coming end of line and possibly got a good bulk discount for 6084-6117 maybe?

I get what you're saying but imo if were going on a pure economic viewpoint I'd argue the 27/51/52/93/94 would be better (if they end up there).

I want to put my neck on the line and say there's not a single NSL section on any of those routes; I'm even questioning if there's any 50 mph.
