One would assume the YX72 examples will be returned back to Mistral from their five year lease.
However, it would be nice if DCC could look at introducing an express bus to link Durham, Fishburn, Sedgefield & Newton Aycliffe together, then possibly onto Darlington aswell. The vehicles that will be displaced off the Park and Ride would be decent for a service like that.
Noticed it can be very difficult for people to make journeys alike Fishburn or Sedgefield to Darlington since the withdrawal of the X21, with them having to travel to Stockton to then change onto the X66 to travel through...
If I was him. Id buy them for the capacity needed for the 350/351. This 350 was introduced seems to have failed to ease numbers on the 351 and actually split them now making both services during the day now busy. Even the first day of the 350 I did was busy. So doesn't exactly help that you have mini buses running a high capacity service
