VOSA still indicates changes so in someway it still gives a hint... like the new X6, Arriva will of known GNE was launching a new service to Hartlepool but the route etc was rumoured for ages.
Wonder if we will see a new service to Newcastle via Chester road from GNE, if the X24 goes ahead...
My gut feeling is no. They might promote through ticketing (or their buzzfare options) on those routes or promote fast, frequent connections with the X1 on the 2's and/or 8 like.
Can't see them offering a spoiler at all.
