I’m sure the depot issue is something GNE will sort if they win, they’d see it as a nice problem to have.

The alternative is saying The Angel runs from Chester, that doesn’t have electric charging facilities so let’s not bother bidding.

If the 21 went to Riverside, they could move something like the 6 to Consett, the 8/78 fully to Chester, or maybe even the X5/X15, or maybe move the X9/X10 to Chester meaning all coaches would be together with the NatEx ones or move something to Washington and the 50 to Chester, Nothing is impossible.
