That would give the X30/X31/X45 cycle an extra bus and an extra 15/20 mins to play with assuming a round trip between Stanley and Lanchester can be done in 40 to 45 mins?
Probably better at looking at reallocating some things tbh, the X30/X31/X45 is a bit long distance wise.
Maybe they could flip some stuff around and say have the X45 and 12 interworking together with a PVR 8 with 75 minutes for the X45 and 45 minutes for the 12 from Consett
Then the X30/X31 moved to Riverside in return working standalone with a PVR 3 or interworking with something else if they want to remove the short drive from the depot for changeovers.
Believe the PVR is the same as it is now anyway. The 12 is getting hammered lately by being on the extremely long 10/10A aswell.
