A think the way it is now might suggest that it may be used across the x63, it wouldn't surprise me because I use that bus a lot and it very rarely newer bus, the closed to new is often 55 reg MAN's

That's because, at the moment, the depot run-out sheet has the X63 down for B10BLE operation (much like Stockton's depot run-out sheets had the 35 as the same until this week, now down as 'New MAN' aka the 03-reg and 22065) hencefore those vehicles are used. Of course, given Walkergate are expected to swap their B10BLEs for a couple of Slatyford's Enviro400s (to maintain a mainly decker-operated network from Walkergate) expect to see the 55-reg MANs on there regularly from now on.
(Before mention, the MAN Enviro300s heading for Walkergate depot are expected to be used on the 38)

If am honest a prefer the older buses tbf especially the Olympians but obviously they couldn't be used anymore due to the no low floor
