309/310/311 (Coast Road)
21 (Gateshead, Chester Le Street)
X5/X15 (Durham, Consett, Shotley Bridge (Derwent Valley))
Hexham Local Services (Ponteland, Allendale, Derwent Valley)
Durham P&R

I doubt Arriva would get the funding again after moving the Volvo B5LHs off the 308 and not replacing with newer Euro 6 vehicles (i.e StreetDecks or E400MMCs).

X5/X15 will be an interesting one mind.
