It was on 17s yesterday however, and was meant to be allocated to the 29A (the working 1920 ended up on - which works the 1725 X17).

Hopefully they plan to properly fix it...

It should also be noted 7517 hasn't been allocated regularly allocated to the X20 since being held on this restriction.
It has been allocated to the 35, Allocating it to the X20 is a last resort spare.
