RE: Go North East: Rare & Odd Workings
I think they don't use the B9's on the X10 now as they were fitted with e fans and overheat, well the original GNE ones were anyway, the 59 plate London ones still have original fans, though most of them are limited to 45? I think? so less than the Streetdecks even. Perhaps GNE should have kept original fans on 6071 - 85 if this is the issue as these could have been used more on there. People I know who use the route prefer one of the Angel Streetdecks on there now as they seem less likely to break down than the Enviro 400's, probably as the Streetdecks are not on there every day, though I know some of them are poor as well, but the 20 plate ones are worse I think. That Bee Network B9 was probably a quality ride on there if it is like the best of the 59 plate ones, maybe better
