Looks like it won't be interworking with the 45 and 46 on Sundays so would make sense for Riverside to operate it possibly using a couple of the TEN/TTX B9TLs. Also the 47 looks to have 20+ minutes layover at Blackhall Mill so that's great to see and will hopefully improve reliability.

Would be quite good to have a Red Kite day/week saver I think - would boost passenger numbers even more I feel if they reduced the cost from Consett which is £6.80 return or £32.50 for a week pass. Could maybe be valid on the 11 and X70/X71 too.

Maybe so, none of the 45 / 46 boards interwork with the 47 on a Sunday by the looks of it.

By looking at the layovers though, they appear to get these amounts of time below

Monday To Saturday:
- 8 Minutes before departing to Blackhall Mill
- 9 Minutes before departing to Newcastle
- 8 Minutes before departing back to Consett

Sundays:
- 9 Minutes before departing to Blackhall Mill
- 4 Minutes before departing back to Newcastle

The total PVR of the 10A / 10B and TTX on a Sunday is 8 (5x TEN / 3x TTX) vehicles and Riverside have 14x B9TLs in total (8x TEN incl 6084 and 6x TTX) so it is a possibility that Riverside could still work the Sunday boards as you mentioned but we don't know yet.
