Scania announces "gas-powered" double decker!
Scania announces "gas-powered" double decker!
I'm pleased that Scania are offering a 9 litre engine with their E400 chassis but I wonder whether Arriva would pull their fingers out if the Cummins units on the X15 and X18 start playing up? What Arriva could do in a few year if they wanted to upgrade the X10 / X11 is this:
- 7522 to 7528 to Blyth for X10 / X11.
- 7529 to 7533 refurbished to Sapphire spec and joining the above.
- 7501 and 7502 to Blyth acting as spares.
- 15 new Sapphire spec Scania Euro 6 MMC's to Ashington for the X21 / X22 joined by a further 2 new spares in Max spec and corporate livery.
- 10 new Max + Scania Euro 6 MMC's to Ashington for the X15 / X18 joined by a further spare in normal Max spec and corporate livery. Max + would basically be Sapphire but with no Audio announcements due to the long distances and Max branding.

Looks smart in Blue.
Does anyone know where the gas will be stored?, as the single deckers have the pods on the top, as seen on Daniels photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/danielgrahamm/14290155712
Edit:
Also i don't know if the gas has a special name or not as its fuel so i just said "gas"... If you know, please correct me.

Thanks for the info.
