The question is, what would their purpose be there? Would they go into the spare fleet role like 5332 and 5337/38? If that was the case; they're not the oldest Citaro examples in the fleet (in comparison to the ''Blaydon Racers'' examples!, albeit by only a year) and I'm not sure they're ready for a back seat role yet. This itself is merely speculation, the ''Crusader'' seems to have had a lot of investment in recent years, be it newer vehicles, liveries etc., and I'm unsure if it justifies it as much as some other services do. For example, the ''East Durham'' network has some pretty worn out buses, and we could see another ''Venture''-like investment in those services, replacing the MPDs.
Not sure about Citaros at Chester-le-Street, as for which services they could be allocated to.
