Not to mention the sale of Jesmond which has just 'vanished' and Blyth being prime land for sale aswell in a spot lined for redevelopment so they may have to move anyway. It seems an awful waste of money spending anything on it.

Expanding Ashington and Blyth will be significantly cheaper than buying land in Newcastle, building a new depot, and operating it. 

Blyth won't need to relocate, the redevelopment of the depot is part of the regeneration project of Blyth town centre as far as I'm aware.
