So you move double deckers away somewhere else where theyre also not needed.  Leave the other vehicles in the yard at Whitby and mothball it, presumably needing some maintenance/security staff there or risk vandalism and other issues.

Then get Stockton to run the X93's, requiring route learning.  Huge amounts of dead mileage between Stockton and Whitby each morning and evening.  You've also got the headache of either interworking the new drivers with Whitby's X4 journeys (more route learning), or add to Redcar's workload and again increasing dead mileage.

And then you've still got the only problem you mentioned, the 95's.  Unless we get Stockton drivers to come down and do those too, maybe get a busload of them at a time to show them the routes to Sleights and Lealholm?!
