Just look at GNE's 58, lost mileage has decreased massively since the bendies were dropped and reliability has increased, but they do not market it as a premium service.
It'd be interesting to see something like the X9/X10 marketed as a premium service though, when it comes the time to replace the B9TLs. With Arriva Sapphire and Stagecoach Gold brands expanding, it'd suggest that there's a market in providing a premium/business class service.
