If they have first choice, I can't imagine there's a queue of driver's wanting to go to Riverside it's a horrid commute.
For all we know the driver's might win and they end up with an outstation with buses parked in a yard somewhere with some way of refuelling similar to Arriva in Alnwick and Whitby.
I've said it before a Durham outstation would be ideal really, could split the 21 between there and Riverside, then have the X21, 34 and the Solo routes based there, would certainly put them in good stead for winning some of the DCC contracts come October such as the Park and Ride. Could also be treated as an outstation for the odd bus on the 20, X20, 50, X5/15 or 16/16A.
