1499 blyth to durham in trade for 7453
7411 to jesmond with 1497 joining 1499 at durham and 7454 going to blyth with 7453
1493 blyth to jesmond with 1479 going back to durham and 7455 joining 7453/4 in blyth
1501 blyth to jesmond allowing 7492 to go to durham and 7456 joining the rest of the lowlanders at blyth all to be allocated to the 2 allowing the solos move over to the 1 to replace the darts
7609/10 to also come to blyth to replace 1493 and 1501 on the X7/8 with 1503 swapping to ashington for 7446 which is to be spare for blyths network one single decker board will be on the 2 since there is 5 solos that currently run the 2 and that is to usualy be a commander.
Sunday allocations will change too to have the solos on the 57A as usual there will be 2 commanders on the 1 and 2 X9 pulsars on the 2/X16 with 2 lowlanders operating the X9 and the other 2 to be spare.

The lowlanders will add extra peak and school copacity on the 2 aswell as better more reliable buses.

Belmont need the Lowlander's for scholars work, some of which interwork with service 43 and other stuff. Whitby Park & Ride needs double deckers although some younger one's will need to be sourced for next year due to restriction on contract no longer allowing anything older than 10 years being used. Nothing can really be replaced unless something can be added to the fleet to replace anything currently in the fleet or if PVR reductions or service withdrawals etc happen.
