Are they going to keep any E400's to make up the peak PVR or what? Pulsars have never, to my knowledge, being used on the route but then I guess they would need to be tacho fitted? Be interesting to see how one of the good ones would cope in and out of RHB.
Pulsars were mentioned but obviously at present they're used on X4 and that won't change soon enough to free up some for the X93, unless they found some extra ones from elsewhere? Omnicities would be well suited but they're all booked in for refurbishments so can't use them either, so I guess that leaves Temsas. For now they've got 7501/2 still there though, but 7489 arrived tonight from Ashington so that marks 6 B7s now at Redcar, with 5 already in use and as far as I know there's been no major issues with them, they seem to have settled in well. Time will tell how they do over the summer but they must have had engine overhauls done as they're doing well. Obviously they don't have the power to climb hills though, but then we knew that from the X9/X10...
