By the very nature of being a spare it's better to be equipped for any duty rather than being confined to the PBs. Also if GNE wanted to sample the euro 6 on a different route it would be useful if it was corporate liveried.
I've always wondered why the new vehicles fitted with a tachograph must be branded - and it's not a question I've actually asked!
Thinking back to 6084 moving over to Riverside as a result of service changes last year, if 6100 had received the tachograph in build instead, the cost of a repaint could have been avoided.
Sure there'll be good reason.
