As long as the government are subsidising the industry, I doubt there'll be the money or time available to change interworking patterns.The interworking patterns at Consett will change though. That was the whole point of swapping the StreetDecks for E400MMCs.

Current:
- X31/X45/X46 = 13x
- X47/X70/X71 = 9x
- X30 = 4x
New:
- X30/X70/X71 = 8x
- X31 = 4x
- X45/X46/X47 (same as pre 2019 but limited stop) = 14x
Although total PVR will remain the same, there will be more flexibility for the Consett & Stanley express routes with all services using low height double deck vehicles.

- StreetLite > StreetDeck (Consett)
Then with E200MMCs currently operating, drivers who are familiar with them should be able to know their way around the E400MMC dash.
