Its probs for the reliability of all them as there are plenty of Delayed operations on all of these, also the X5/X15 has changed it used to go via Castleside, but on that it says Shotley Bridge

X30/X31 would be better off standalone using 6338-40 with 6341-51 all moving to Riverside, meaning a common fleet on the X10 & X21 and not a particular batch of vehicles getting a daily hammering. 7x out of the 15x would also form the Tyne Valley Ten PVR on Sundays to reduce fuel costs over B9TLs.

- 6331-33 - Washington Spares
- 6356-63 - X45 & X71/X72

B5TL:
- 6308-14 - Either for 47 or 58 (only 6x needed if 47)
- 6333-34 - Consett Spares

Full repaints:
- 7x B5TL to corporate
