They were bought specifically for the X93 as we needed a double deck vehicle capable of handling the hills, and I pushed for Volvo B9TL's to be trialled, and we managed to find some hanging around in Volvo's stock.
The summer extras are likely to use existing Max double deck vehicles, more than likely from the X12/X2 as the loadings are lower in the summer whilst the university students are away.
So have some B9TL's actually been bought before they were trialled and by mind Scott you have some clout at Arriva
