The 38/29 is a strange one as the 29 is basically the old 26 extended on has a PVR increase from 4 to 7 if our previous calculations were correct. I think the idea we believed was going to happen with the 29 running the 38 route then to Doxfore could be quite effective. X3 is also a strange one, can't see that lasting very long it's as if they are just cutting it cutting down until no one really notices it not been there. I do wonder if it'll be allocated an MPD.
East Durham changes are a hitty missy. The 208 changes are quite good I do like the idea and provides connections to Easington Colliery. 209/210 are a total rewind to last year, 265 changes are good, faster journey is needed. I hope the 204 works out as they seem to chop and changing the Belmont/Pittington as much as North Sunderland!

(02 Jan 2014, 6:19 pm)CatsFast101 wrote So did I hear correctly that all of Deptford's 16 ex-fab 56 Solars will be staying at Deptford? Except 5210 which is going to Hexham? We expecting 5205-5209 to go into black for X36 are we thinking these will be branded as Fast Cats also? With the rest of the red Solars allocated to the 29. Are we expecting that the all the SPD's from other depots will go? Will the Renowns from Deptford go elsewhere?
