I do wonder what the future will be Chester-le-Street depot in the coming years. Also I do wonder if there would be any feasibility in GNE opening a new depot at Durham. Say they won the P&R and get all the ZEBRA buses - it says in the bid document the P&R fleet could be maintained at an operators commercial depot. A depot at Durham could house the Durham Park and Ride, Cathedral bus and potentially outstation a couple of buses for the 21. It looks possible that the National Express tender will end due to the merger with Stagecoach, the X21, X22 and 25 could readily be operated from a depot at Durham, and the 8 could be operated from Consett, Washington or Deptford. So that only leaves the 28/28A, 34, 71 and the scholars services, with the southern section of the 28 and the 71 being DCC contracted of course, so potential for splitting between the other depots or dropping a contract or two when they're up for renewal.
