Also what would the joint PVR of the X8/9 be If they interworked.

Aye I kind of get why because of it's timings as it avoids the X7 Newcastle peaks I guess which they usually priortise at least in the morning anyway before all the swapping starts. They do need to do something for Astley though.

I'm guessing 10 for the X8/X9 like the old X7/X8 used to be the X8 is a bit awkward as it takes 76 minutes so if you shaved a few minutes off there somewhere and moved Amersham Drive and made the X7 go the long way into Blyth over the X9 you could possibly push it down to 9 but it'd be tight.

The X7 with a PVR of 5 would have a 17 minute overtime at each end aswell which is too much but it's too tight only having 2 minutes otherwise.
