6308-14 back to Riverside and repainted for the East Gateshead loop to be allocated to the 93/94

6335/34 to wherever needs them as spares repainted to 2019 livery  or back to EYMS

6155-61 to CLS, refurbished with headrests and the red moquette to be added with extra padding (to make the seats like the EYMS coasters and X93 B9s) tables & USB chargers added, repainted to X-lines blue for the X21
6001/49 to have tables added and repainted to X-lines blue for the X21

Prehaps for spares give those Ex Scotland B9s a euro 6 conversion and refurbish one or two of them to X-lines spec for spares

Doesn't need all that! If Consett's rotas were changed as well as the X30/X31 & X70/X71/X72 interworking patterns with the X30/X31 standalone, it would just be a case of swapping 9x E400MMC and 9x B5TL. StreetDecks would be backup at CLS for the E400MMCs and 6334/35 would take a spare role at Consett. Obviously another low height spare would be needed at Consett for the X30/X31.
