There's other routes which need newer buses though 6, 12 and 57 being the most noticeable because of the LEZ. Then you've got the 3 Omnicities at PM aswell which unless are upgraded will need to go as all the full size routes at PM go through Newcastle now.
You've also got the X-Lines X6 and X7 without any buses atm aswell so maybe an option there or an upgrade of another solo route which in turn they move to Deptford.
I can't see many upgrades to Deptford though as it'll just withdraw Citaros as there's nowhere for them to go.
Wasn’t it mentioned by Dan and Martijn on the monthly live feed that there’s no plans to update the buses on the 60 and no plans changing the brand anytime soon?
Regarding the ex xline services X6/x7, I would remarket the 2 services as 62/63 as there are practically all stopper services except in Sunderland and maybe if it was all stops in Sunderland then maybe take some passengers away from Arriva service 22/23, l would de brand service 60 from Drifter.

The ex red kite streetlites are supposed to be heading to Deptford Depot
