It's the same with 659 at Washington which makes even less sense when they sent their own to Percy Main. #
It depends what goes on the 74 / 684 ultimately though as I could imagine some the Solo's from Hexham going elsewhere as something has to come for the Euro 6 from somewhere.
659 was only brought out from being mothballed for route learning purposes at Washington.
It should now be mothballed again, though I suspect has been clung onto given the high VOR this week resulting in Xlines and Graphites also being used.
