E400MMC:
- 6336-37 - Consett - Spare
- 6338-45 - Consett - X30/X31/X45
- 6346-55 - Riverside - X10/X21
Wasn't part of the syggestion. They'd remain at Consett as backup for the X30/X31/X45 plus other routes if not needed.
For the X10/X21, 6362-63 would fill in and in the case of the X10 if there was a VOR, 6362-63 would step in on the X21 with one of the E400MMC's or 6102/6377 then released stepping in place on the X21.
Would effectively be how Arriva Northumbria manage the 17 & 72 plate E400MMCs at Ashington with both batches doing the X14/X15/X18/X20 and X21/X22.
