I don’t think any of the others can really be argued as being a direct result of the service changes. Most of the changes are to prepare and mobilise the fleet for the Clean Air Zone and/or natural brand refreshes.

For example there are three indiGo branded Solo remaining - although this isn’t as a direct result of the service changes, part of it was a ‘natural’ re-brand to Peterlee Purple (which is why they have taken so long). Those remaining are 664 - 666 (1x Blonde and 2x fleet livery).

All the Consett Coast & Country Streetlites remain, but this was a natural re-brand.

All the Blue 61 Citaros remain, but this was a natural re-brand.

The four X-lines X5/15 StreetDeck will be replaced by Hybrids 6065-68 (the first three now repainted, branded, seats reupholstered with USBs fitted, and tables added to the upper saloon), so these will also require repaint, but this was for the CAZ and not service changes.

The forthcoming changes at the end of January will release a further two StreetDeck from the light green X-lines brand (6333 and one from the new batch) and the five Hexham ADL E400s (6352/53 now done, 6354/55 at Saltmeadows now, 6337 still in service at Hexham).
