By the looks of it, the X45 being extended to Hownsgill will allow the driving hours to be pushed in a similar way to how Arriva's Blyth drivers can also do two round trips on the 308 (also nearly 5 hours) and then just walk into the depot.I’ll give you credit, this makes more sense than any of your previous suggestions, as at least everything is in consistent batches. However that’s still 14 rear-end repaints that one could argue aren’t necessary
If the interworking patterns allowed, below could actually work out as a feasible allocation
E400MMC:
- 6338-40 - X30/X31
- 6341-42 - Consett Spares
- 6343-51 - X21
StreetDeck:
- 6331-33 - Riverside Spares
- 6356-60 - X45
- 6361 - Washington Spare
- 6362-75 - X1
- 6376 - Washington Spare
B5TL:
- 6308-14 - X70/X71/X72
- 6334-35 - Consett Spares
B9TL:
- 6043-48 - 47 (Unchanged)
