The 0410 56 from Newcastle is worked by Riverside using a ‘Crusader’ B9 - which then works the 0559 27 from South Shields
The Sunday morning 47s from Blackhall Mill have reverted back to Riverside operation using ‘Tyne Valley Ten’ B9s working onto 10s in Newcastle.
You have one which do 5>24>61A, 60>35A.
It also appears that the 57&58 do interwork but with no particular pattern.

- X30/X31/X45 - 8x
- X71/X72 - 5x
Given the very high spec interior of the StreetDecks and that an ex dealer stock vehicle is still making up the PVR of the X21, it would make sense allocating 6356-63 on there then B5TLs either going on the 47 or 58.
In fact, B5TLs on the 58 would match exact PVR and provide a slight capacity boost. 6334/35 as spares would then allow 6336/37 to go back to Consett. Riverside could then use 6099 on the X10 if needed.
@Dan are you in position to be able to confirm allocations or still work in progress?
If the 58 gets a capacity upgrade, it only extra spare seats
