Just been thinking about this:
I'm don't think that the Solo's are big enough for the Stanley - Durham section of the Diamonds and i don't think that vehicles the size of the Citaros are small enough for the Stanley - Castleside section of the V8 (in whatever form it may be - may just go as far as Consett). Loads of possibilities - could include the 131 being merged with another route but the East Stanley circular has been changed so much over the last few years. Too much imo.
