Not sure how moving three B9TLs to a low-cost outstation would be any good at all? The resources at Riverside are far superior to the resources at Peterlee.
You could argue that having a tacho-fitted B10BLE at Peterlee would be purposeful, as well as having a spare driver readily available in the bus station, but there's also the cost-factor you'd have to consider. Certainly could appreciate that it's better to have one spare tacho-fitted vehicle present at Peterlee to replace breakdowns at the Middlesbrough end of the route, but even then, it takes 30 minutes to get from A to B and the next TTX is ready and picking up passengers by then.
