To add to Dans comment, there is other things to take into consideration. For example for Phoenix, their Solo was occupied at either end of the service by operating on a school service. So the vehicle that is used may end up being used on some other misc workings.
I know fine well that Stanley depot actually operates a school service in North Shields!
Also the distance to Byker Asda from either Riverside or Percy Main depots are roughly the same at around 5 miles, it's effectively right bang smack in the middle of them.
