Although B10BLEs should be allocated to service 71, the first point of call is to ensure that the "Lime" receives these over other vehicle types. Again, as I've already mentioned, imagine a Cadet on the Lime? There's also the issue of the swap needing five vehicles: Chester-le-Street only have four.
I'm positive Go North East would have considered all options and as they've not chosen to go with the ones we've suggested, there must be a reason why that option was considered to be worse than services 67/69.
Actually it is 3 with the 3rd one being spare when am photoing the 71s it has at least 3 vehicles
