The GC fit, but obviously they are a few carriages short, of a full VTEC set.
It will be interesting to see.
The other point to make, is that Sunderland has 4 platform numbers, despite only having one island platform.
I am wondering which platforms they arrive/depart from.
If using a southbound platform from London, is the driver going to change ends and head back to Heaton?
Or is it going to arrive on the Northbound platform?
The wiki, has the track layout. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunderland_station
