I agree, the B9 should be able to manage a route that isn't centrally focused on the motorway, but does have a pretty demanding route. I also find that the seating layout on the Presidents is quite unhelpful, considering you MUST find a seat before the bus pulls onto the motorway.

Would be good if Go North East had a way of finding out whether the B5TL would cope on the X21, wouldn't it..? Oh wait, that's right... They do!
