What would be the best thing to happen is:
Option 1:
- 6084 to Riverside in plain silver livery with GNE logo on windscreen and above passenger door and drivers cab window with the TTX "X" (not brand name or anything else) Vinyls painted on both sides of the vehicle in black. The vehicle could then be mainly allocated to the TEN in place of 3942 but if required, could also step in on the TTX like what 6071 does in fact, taking over the role of 6071 due of 6071 being branded for the TEN. 3942 would then be repainted into Northern red and transferred to Percy Main as a last resort Cobalt Clipper spare.
Option 2:
- This option deviates from the long term investment plan (gaining money back from a certain service that the vehicle was purchased for) and instead looks at route demands. 6084 as above would transfer to Riverside but purely for the TTX with 6117 joining from Percy Main but purely for the TEN. In turn, 3963 and 3942 could then transfer to Percy Main as spares but the only problem would be that if the current CC PVR of 16 ran into reliability issues (timekeeping) further down the line (been OK up to now) and GNE decided to with the exception of Sunday daytime, split the 309 / 310 so that they no longer inter work with the 310 / X39 running with a PVR of 7 and the 309 running with a PVR of 10 with 309 changeovers taking place in New York, Percy Main would then be short of a full specification vehicle for the Cobalt Clipper services.
