Interesting.

I think StreetLite's would struggle on the X1 as the timetable is a bit tight and I think they are limited to 50mph so I don't think they'd be much good on the faster sections of the route.

StreetLite's should handle the 1/5/5A okay, not sure I'd like them on there though as I am not a massive fan of them, I don't hate them but I wouldn't say I like them either. Also would the 1/5/5A be all StreetLite's or mixed with the 13 reg Pulsar's.
