Suppose so and as a cascaded vehicle they are doing quite well. I say this because most cascaded buses aren't as good as they have been worn down quite quickly by their routes. I'd say the 309 to Blyth is quite a long route for a bus not to get worn down although each Citaro only did this a few times (well, a few compared to the omnicities) between 2010 and them leaving the routes but I think over a period of time, just like the TTX B9s, the reliability of them will be lost and it will start to look like the B10s are still on the service. I have no clue when this will be though but im sure that it will happen at some point.
