And something like this could be easily remedied by turning, for example, Hexham into an outstation and moving all major engineering work up to Consett or over to Riverside.

That's already happened with Consett hasn't it? Was done the same time that CLS was closed.

Mind if you wanted to save some money from it, maybe you could only have one depot open and just have the buses swapped out in the late evening. Every depot has a bus service which heads towards Newcastle, in the evening, so it wouldn't be too difficult to do from Riverside or Saltmeadows really.

Would save money from having multiple depots open in the evening.
