If they do increase it I'm sure they could nab something from elsewhere if needed. The Ten is a quite popular route (arguably more so than the Consett services) and the B9's are getting on a bit on there especially since they've never been refurbished. (Not sure the PVR is enough mind, haven't checked).
Would numbers on the 10 grow as a result of these vehicles being allocated to the route?
Part of me wonders if the under-investment in the less popular routes, leads to that downward spiral/lack of passengers/demand we keep seeing and if there was a switch in mindset (ie investment in those less popular routes in an effort to grow it), it may reverse that cycle.
