GoNorthEast would arguably be in an even worse position since they shut down the depot there too. Deptford / Washington are even further away unless they built a replacement for Washington somewhere as that place is falling down - there's a lot of depots falling down...
Back when the 88 went to Riverside depot they'd do changeovers at Jarrow bus station, way further than Deptford and Washington were. You can see why they've consolidated their South Tyneside only routes now at Deptford so they interwork with the 24 and 9.
