The thing with Jesmond is they have more than 12 Solo's, as some are allocated to the 52/53/54, but like you say the depot re-jig should see an end to that. The ones at Whitby are sound just running around on the 95. Darlington have withdrawn all the Omnicities because there were PVR decreases on the town services which are solo operated. So now you have Solo's running around on the X26/27/66/67/75/76, so they could deffo do with more Pulsars. 

I reckon, Blyth will do the X7/X8/X9/X10/X11/308 with the 31 DB300's, then 12 E400's operating either the 43 or 306 not sure if that would leave enough spare for that PVR. Then ofc the Streetlites for the 52/53/54. I reckon the new Walkergate depot could be just single decks, doing the E200 operated services, the 43 (could go Ashington alternatively) or 306, 44/45 and 685.
