So as a result of the above, the Consett to Newcastle departures would be:

xx:04, xx:24, xx:37, xx:44, xx:57

And the Newcastle to Consett departures would be:

xx:15, xx:25, xx:35, xx:45, xx:55


Vehicle allocations to save money........E400MMCs kept in dark green but just branded Consett or Stanley to Newcastle. StreetDecks kept in light green with Red Kite stripped off and branded Consett - Sunniside - Gateshead - Newcastle
