The X30/X70/X71 would be a PVR of 8x with layover at Consett. The X31 would be a PVR of 4x with a 1x continuing to Consett hourly replacing the X30 extension.
That's from Dan, not me guessing - https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showt...p?tid=2600&pid=245035#pid245035.
11 new buses for the X30/X31/X70/X71. There isn't any, 'plus from existing fleet' with the 'improved and more efficent' interworking patterns comment below. Moving the PVR from one route to another isn't improving efficency.
