Fast Cats and Tynedale Links continued: 14 streetlites would come to allow an every half-hour full route X36 with one red spare. 4955, 4973-4976 and 5205 would replace Deptford's cadets. 5206-5208 would 549-551 and 5209 would move to Hexham to provide extra capacity on service 74, 680 and 688 with 5209 running on the 688, 5210 running on the 680 and 5229 running on service 74 with it's wifi and comfortable seats allowing for 556 to be withdrawn and the solo that would run on the 74 to run on the 686/687 and the one on the 688 to run on service 682. 618 could be kept as a spare with 557 also being withdrawn. 619 could then replace 547 at Stanley.
TOON LINK and X66: 5234-5238 would replace 5391-5394 on service X66 with 5401 being taken from Stanley to supplement 5391-5394 on service 12/12A. 5234-5238 would provide extra capacity on the X66. This would free up 5332 to go to Deptford for replacing 565. With the loss of NEXUS service 68, 626 could gain a green ASDA livery to allow for 9105 to be sent back to optare.
RED KITE and Venture V9: 6 streetlites would arrive for Red Kite service 45/45E/46/47 and would allow for the 47 to continue to Consett meaning service V9 will no longer need to run. This would free up 6118-6121 and 652 with 6118-6120 going to to remove 6008, 6010 and 6015 with 6121 going to Crook to replace 6038. 641 would replace 573 at Deptford with a surplus bus removing 574.
Tynedale Links and Tynedale Express: Service X84 renumbered 684 again and interworks with other Tynedale Links services. X84 follows service 685 to Hexham as a direct competitor and X85 remains unchanged with B9s running on new X84 and X85 and Solars would probably run the 684.
See It Do It and service 61: 61 has been mentioned above. 15 streetlites including one spare would come for services 35/35A/36. That would mean that 5298-5309 and 5325-5327 could be cascaded to remove:
5298 removing 6034 at Deptford. The rest could form a reserve role in the fleet.
