The only other two I'd say are Olympians and Streetlites aswell. The second are all over the place now pretty much; Percy Main, Jesmond, Deptford, Stockton, Redcar, Darlington, Riverside, Durham, Consett, and also been based at Hexham and Ashington for a bit. No doubt Jesmond's will be moving to Blyth aswell next month to tick off all the Arriva / GNE depots.

I'll give you Darlington, as besides Arriva's 4514 covering some OmniCity refurbishments in late 2015, they had a very limited presence there. Sunderland, however, I'd dispute. For about fifteen years, they were a permanent fixture on the Consett/Stanley-Sunderland services, 4906-4909 spent a year on the X7, and there was a steady number of fleet-liveried examples based at Deptford in the mid-2010s.
