It's an interesting trail of thought as to where it could go if it was to be kept with Go North East; as it would most likely see front-line service rather than just act as another spare bus.

(17 Nov 2015, 7:52 pm)Dan All depots, excluding Crook and Peterlee, will be open this year.
Service 47 is one of very few services which will be allocated a 'wrong brand' this year - Jimmi will be glad to hear he's not missing out on too many photo opportunities, given the lack of Arriva North East services being operated again! Other services which will be allocated a 'wrong brand' are those which will require a greater seating capacity.
I'd expect timetables to be uploaded to Go North East's website shortly, but an improved service is being operated with later journeys and more vehicles added into PVRs to increase reliability.

(17 Nov 2015, 7:57 pm)Dan Yes; some services have been secured by Nexus, but I believe most are being provided on a commercial basis.
(17 Nov 2015, 8:03 pm)Michael Will we see more services on boxing day with more depots opening?

(17 Nov 2015, 8:07 pm)Adrian It's refreshing to see that some operators are forward thinking, and realise that people don't want to spend their Boxing Day sat in the house. Not fancy operating a few X12s?
I'd imagine so, as each depot opening, has more costs than just drivers/buses being on the road, associated with it.
