Do Arriva seriously think that buses that can't cope with a reasonably easy route can cope with the X93?
Granted there may be other factors, such as traffic and loadings that contribute to late running, but the vehicle allocation will play a part too.
I mentioned the alx400 that was on the x1/x2 the other day - that was 30mins late at one point and had the following Gemini on its tail end.
When Tyresmoke had seen it earlier in the day, it was late - but not that far behind schedule.
As the day had gone on, there was obviously a reason it was falling later and later behind time.
