I am going to guess that it comes off the 827 (in which case it would have been 3874) with Rowlands Gill being the closest to Newcastle (although that probably seems illogical).
I had intended to get a photograph of 4932 at the Metrocentre and head to Newcastle after that for photographs of the working you mention plus Chester-le-Street's output on service X1, but I ended up getting held up at work (meaning that I missed the 15:56 49 from Victoria Road), which meant that I missed 4932 by a minute or two. As there is plenty of time to get photographs of that working, but only the one occasion to get a photograph of a bus on its first day out in service following repaint, I decided to prioritise 4932 which was due on Market Street at around 17:02 (though usually arrives a minute or two early).
I still managed to intercept Chester-le-Street's X1 at Gateshead (slap on the back of the hand for me - taking photographs within a bus station!) by getting the Metro from Monument to Gateshead, then the following Metro back home.
As for what the aforementioned #11 working runs off - it's the #822 from St Bede's. Instead of returning to the depot after arrival at Consett, it now heads to Emmanuel College to work the 16:07 #832 to Carr Hill (arr 16:30), then light to Eldon Square from here.

It is, hence why I'm not typing those out!
