The X18 for example, 4 hours from Newcastle to Berwick, surely it would be sensible to include power, so that people can use the WiFi for their whole journeys?
Yeah, I would suggest that the Coast and Castles brand is reintroduced. Of course we need buses with more power than 64-reg E400s (to appease Davey)
.Possibly refurb 7511-7517 and 7529-33 to include power sockets, and replace the hard leather with the seats like some of Wales' Sapphire buses.
If there's a Pulsar free anywhere, possibly transfer that to Ashington, and displace 4653 & 4659 to Darlington. Refurbish the Pulsar to Max, brand it for all routes including 418.
If problems occur with 7511-13, they get transferred to X20/20 then 7519-21 to X15.
