I'd agree with that, although I seem to remember that they got round that by interworking a short X50 with one 13/14 around the morning peak at one point?
As for East Durham. I'd say the Solo SR would be a better option for all the routes. Perhaps the front axle position is more beneficial on your traditional mini bus routes, as there's some quite tight sections to navigate round. The SRs are great on the W5/W6 on an evening, and that's quite a tight route in places.
