1401-3 are basically pointless at Blyth once the X7/X8/X9 go MAX - bar the minibus work (1/2 from 6th September) and the 308, the rest of Blyth's service work is MAX. And given their age, it makes little sense to refurbish 1401-3 when they at best have 3 years left in service.

Only routes with low enough PVR for them are either the 21a or the 8/8a.
