Arriva literally have an order in for 31 new deckers, which is public knowledge - if the opportunity arose I'm sure they'd be minded to redistribute those to 'take over' on the Coast Road. They're in a far better position than GNE in that regard.
If GNE really wanted to utilise resource better, then they'd look at why they're parking up a bus in Blyth for 25 minutes each trip.
