6301-07 are being split between CLS & Washington to provide enough Euro 6 decker spares.

No doubt if GNE's EV bids are successful, these will be marketed as 'temporary'.

Really Washington/Chester-le-Street/Deptford/Peterlee/Hexham have extremely little space, so for the infrastructure needs to be improved. And Consett has space just no infrastructure.

Also 6301-6307, 6304-6307 might aswell be painted into either X21 Xlines or X1 Xlines or Spare Xlines.
