I'd think it's likely it should be a branded spare as there's always about 4 red vehicles on the 35's, a cadet and solar on today I've seen. It would never need see use of route and as is pointed out 18 is a high PVR to have no branded spares. It seems like a daft decision to replace a citaro with a solar on laser at the moment. Although plans change, it has be strongly suggested by GNE representatives on here that a Cobalt Clipper will make their way to Blaydon Racers, but we'll see.
If we say for arguments sake that is a Laser Citaro is going to Blaydon Racers, it would then seem that cobalt clipper citaros are required somewhere else, I believe the only PVR of 7 is Pronto and this has been ruled out it seems. We also have had strongly suggested hints that some, presumably 4, are going to WTX. Where else could these end up though? Only place I thought was maybe could the 5 newest go to Fab57? Or West Durham Swift with two laser joining them there too? However, I think WTX needs new vehicles Pronto!
