Routes have been exchanged before so can’t see why this needs not to be a consideration. 37/38 has simlilar PvR swap that to Slatyford and 30/31/36 to Walkergate !
imo you'd be better doing what happened in Teesside and just send them to Sunderland instead with some route in the Newcastle area upgraded with some Diesels. The 62/63 being the obvious choice, with most those deckers going to other depots to replace other buses. Walkergate being an obvious choice in return for some singles to see off the MAN's or the X24 at Sunderland either if you fancied upgrading that to double decker permanently which would see off a few gas buses instead.
