I think what you might see in the future with Nexus scholars is some cost cutting where they're included in service boards. I think the 33 going to Kingsleys will just be the start. Ultimately this will mean the withdrawal of certain trips on services but it will cut the cost of having 2 buses down to one for Nexus.
Durham CC will likely try to convert a lot of theirs down to coaches at some point, or indeed cheaper operators may well end up with a lot of the contracted work, Pygalls and Nightingales are two that have done well recently with double deck contracts.
