Maybe the 8 60's could get onto the 35/35A. Then 4 Prince Bishops on 61, 4 Ex Prince Bishops on 55, Then 10' Plate X20's are holding up alright for now. 

If you replace deptford two of deptfords most profitable routes, 60 & 20 that leaves 22 buses to replace the older ones.

There won't be any new buses coming to GNE anytime soon, bus companies aren't making money the last thing they will be doing is buying things when they don't need them.

In the terms of the cuts no doubt the likes of 5, 6, 9, 26, 28/28A, 33, 38, 39/39A, 55, 67, 69, Peterlee Locals, Washington Locals, Consett Locals are the types of services which are at risk when the Covid money dries up. They're the type of services which have already been cut in North Tyneside and most are already subsidised at some point. That's speculation though.
