The X93/X94 can easily cope with a single on some boards outside the holidays and weekends.

Once you take out weekends, the 12 weeks the kids are off school (Summer / Easter / October + 2 Half Terms) and the months it's in a winter timetable anyway there's not a hell of a lot left really. I really don't understand why'd you want buses of a mixed age on a hard route anyway, even known they're only 4 years but it's a big difference on a route like that.

The most stupidly comment ever  no the x93 can't cope with single deckers due to be high independent 24/7 all year around  u want people  standing from Middlesbrough all the way to Scarborough   another  person who doesn't  actually know how busy the x93 gets

The deckers that be used on scholars will more likely remain in local  such as 62s as been mentioned that 63s can have e400mmcs  as low hight and would be able to fit Marton bridge without any issues
