It all depends I guess if Covid has changed those plans!
My speculation could be the X45 running via the X47 route, which could in theory make the V9 redundant saving a minibus but adding additional capacity on the chop well to Consett bit. Also I would question the shotley extension to the X5/X15. Could reroute the V3/V4 via kings rd or run the X5 via the V4 route and serve the hospital after Cuthberts Avenue and the X15 via the V3 route. Saving more minibuses.
