But unless 6118-21 are no longer going to East Yorkshire, where will the vehicles come from for the X5/X15? You've already got.........

- 1x E400MMC X30 Consett
- 14x E400MMC X1 Washington
- 9x StreetDeck X47/X70/X71 Consett
- 13x StreetDeck X31/X45/X46 Consett

Then spares wise, you've got........
- 3x StreetDeck Chester Le Street covering PVR of 23x
- 1x E400MMC Consett covering PVR 4x (X30)
- 1x E400MMC Washington covering PVR 14x

So if the Fab 56 PVR is reduced to 11x (15 min freq) + 1x spare, that would free up 6096-98 from Deptford + 6099 from Percy Main due to Cobalt & Coast PVR now only being 16x. Only 6096-98 would need a refurb as 6099 is already X-Lines spec.

Don't know what GNE are going to do in terms of spares though???

A 12 min frequency may be required initially to aid social distancing but going forward, a 15 minute frequency wouldn't be unreasonable.
