There are ten X-reg MPDs remaining in the entire fleet, and I imagine GNE will want to withdraw these first.
There are ten 51/52-reg "Venture" branded MPDs.
Judging by the numbers alone, I think they'll just repaint said "Venture" branded MPDs and have them running around in plain yellow. Can't imagine GNE to give them a proper repaint and re-brand them accordingly. I'm sure they have a lot of the yellow left going spare, so for cheapness alone I'd suggest that - guess they could go Northern though.
As for the two ex-Redby 55-reg ones, I don't think it's too late for GNE to try and sell them... Could perhaps try and sell them - they've already had a repaint.
