I reckon that those services would all use the E400 MMC's freeing up the Streetdecks completely.78 would have the Durham one has a spare, as the current PVR is 9 with 8 branded.
The 1 extension would only need 1 bus so probably 5469. The 4 like you say frees up two Citaro's for spares. I think the 21 could potentially be 9 or 10 saving another 4/5 Streetdecks. The 35 and 61 would both lose a Citaro each and the 78 would lose a Streetlite. The 67 would need 1 Versa, losing 3. And then obviously the 25/28 will save 10 Versa, the 55 4 Citaro's and several Solo's.
the 10 plate 55's would go onto 61 has they have to unpaint them anyway. 4 spares for the 4.
There are 8 Streetdecks, realistically the X1 could be extended all over the place, Seaham. Or my X56 idea to use them.
Yeah I think it would make more sense to keep E400 MMC at Consett.
However how will the 20/70 Plate Streetdecks handle on X21 that is a PVR 8 afaik. However the X1 does need like 3x Extra buses.
