It won't work either considering there's absolutely no depot serving most of South West / South Durham. The whole network in Bishop Auckland, Sedgefield, Newton Aycliffe and Barnard Castle would effectively be depotless (other than the 6, 56 and X21) since they work from Darlington and Stockton and both depots are beyond the touch of them.
Northumberland isn't much better either since the independents all have work beyond tenders so they won't be too open to give up their depots either and Hexham is now an outstation of a depot miles away and not connected in any sensible way either.
