Tbh for the 28 it's only really High Handenhold, which I can see being left without a service, and Pelton Fell, which I reckon the 703 could be diverted to serve at least one of the stops. To me the most logical thing is with the 71 being DCC funded it being extended through to Langley Park to cover the 25, assuming DCC intend on funding to replace that stretch.
tbh. I wouldn't be surprised for both the 25 and 28 to be subsidised throughout taking in as much of the 23 and 29 in the process as they can.
(The 28 is already subsidised between Perkinsville and CLS so it's only the other half that needs money).
