Durham wouldn't be a bad shout though to get shot of 7424/7510-2/14-17 as they're all finished after being rattled on the Berwick expresses for years.
The B9TLs wouldn't be too bad North of Tyne if converted to Euro 6. 306/308 would be absolutely fine for them. GNE are still running 6043-48 on the 47 not forgetting some fairly challenging twists & climbs, despute the fact they were hammered on the X9/X10 and 10/10A/10B.
If Arriva had've kept the 35 standalone from the X21, that would've been another fine route.
