The combined PVR of the 21/X1/X5/X15/X45/X46/X47 will be 46x or 47x if X5 & X15 are not curtailed but even if they were, it's likely that the 1x remaining new one would be Washington's spare
So if the Angel frequency isn't cut to every 10 minutes, will the XLines spares be provided by B9TLs after a refurb if needed (either 6118-21 or 6096-6099)?
Without any B9TLs, Consett would only have 2x E400MMCs covering a total PVR of 29x or 30x. Chester Le Street would only have 1x B5TL covering a total PVR of 23x.
But even if there was a planned reduction of the 21's frequency, I assume 6118-6121 could temporarily help keep a 7-8 minute service until the pandemic subsides and social distancing is no longer a requirement before going to East Yorkshire.
Won't CLS have the 2 generic X-Lines B5s as spares?
