I wouldn't say the B5TLs are great although they're not the worst.

But Riverside having a wider bank of MMCs would save 6352-55 being the only ones getting a daily 'hammering'.

Plus on Sundays & Bank Holidays, there'd still be enough with 2x spares leftover to also cover the Tyne Valley Ten Sunday PVR (7x) which would reduce fuel costs over the B9TLs.
