Could be a case for Arriva to regain the 53/353 (if GNE bail out) and extend to Morpeth as no doubt they'll have room to come 2025.

I don't think it would be anymore, sure the PVR for that group of services is 15 now (including the 47). 

Obviously funding was confirmed well before NCC decided to use BSIP money to improve the 43 to Morpeth.
