Comments have been made elsewhere on the forum about it being unexpected that the 25 and 28 services would transfer to Washington. This is true as it requires remote reliefs whereas if they had operated from Riverside that wouldn’t be the case. Clearly this is the company moving the work (and incurring the cost of doing so) to the best place for the driving team, rather than what is most cost-effective and efficient - to keep its staff at Chester-le-Street happier by allowing them to run from their preferred depot of choice.

In the case of the 25, it might also be to keep the daytime runs in the same depot as the evening ones.
