So if any went to Consett etc, they could be used on the X45/X46/X47 and going forward, any standalone X31 boards that won't interwork with the X30. They could also be used on the X5 & X15 if needed too.

Not necessarily it depends on the terms of the Euro 6 mod by one of the councils in the North East. None of them could run on the X5 or X15 as they will be either Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside or Sunderland paying for them and they won't want them outside their area.

Also I believe the fund was given to tackle the Tyne Bridge, Central Motorway or Coast Road so the routes should be serving those.

"Newcastle, Gateshead and North Tyneside councils all submitted bids for a share of the Clean Bus Technology Fund.

The three authorities were among 29 identified by the Government as needing to address excessive levels of harmful nitrogen dioxide on certain roads, including a section of the A1058 Coast Road, the Tyne Bridge and part of Central Motorway."

So that's the 56, X1 (soon 27), X9/X10 (temp), 309, 310, 311 more than likely probably covered by that.
