The X15 may be the service reverting back to Shilbottle, and as the Newcastle-Morpeth section sees variations there might be variations to the X14/5/6/8. 
There isn't much route to change on the 33, nor the 35, as everything seems to be keeping well, the Demesne route in North Seaton sees decent passenger numbers. 
57 is probably various timekeeping improvements, although some problems are mainly down to the drivers. 
Can't really see much other than the above. If more services in the Ashington/Morpeth area come through it might be bigger changes than I expect.
What will posts like that do to their moral?
People were getting told off the other day for commenting on drivers and their performance...
We were told it would affect moral when they read negative stuff.
