(26 Dec 2022, 7:12 pm)L469 YVK wrote In response to some of the comments about lack of layover times on the Consett / Stanley to Newcastle services, I've managed to come up with the following without increasing the current PVR of 19x. All with sensible layover times.I don't think 4 spares is enough, also X21 should gain a PVR for reliability issues therefore they would need 6376/6377.
Interworking patterns:
X71-X45-X45-X71 - PVR 5x 4hr24m
X72-X45-X45-X72 - PVR 5x 4hr33m - remote relief at Stanley
47-X30-X31-47 / 47-X31-X30-47 - PVR 9x 4hr16m
Current PVR (19x):
- X30/X31/X45 - 8x
- X71/X72 - 5x
- 47 - 6x
New PVR (19x):
- X45/X71/X72 - PVR 10x
- 47/X30/X31 - PVR 9x
Consett Euro 6 Fleet:
- 9x ADL E400MMC 6343-51 - 47/X30/X31
- 5x ADL E400MMC 6338-42 - X45/X71/X72
- 5x Volvo B5TL 6308-12 - X45/X71/X72
Consett Euro 6 Spares:
- ADL E400MMC - 6336, 6337
- Volvo B5TL - 6313, 6314
Other changes:
- 6334-35 - freed up
- 6043-48 - freed up >
- 6356-63 - X21
