I think its more suitable to have ADL E300s on the X34 rather than a spare MAN ALX300 as they are more suitable, and will travel faster, on the motorway/dual carriageway sections of the route.

27739 parked at bottom stop on Pilgrim Street just after coming off Tyne Bridge in Newcastle at 17:35 today, suggesting that it was going to work the 17:50 X34 from Newcastle.
