Today's the 57s are made up of 2 solos and 2 pulsars. Yesterday was 2 solos an enviro and a pulsar on, the enviro, 7532 for those wondering, replaced the notoriously unreliable 2853 which expired just shy of 20 minutes into the first 57 of the day at hartford bridge.
Honestly can't disagree really but they were sent down because of issues in Newcastle with grounding so kind of had to go. Wouldn't be surprised to see 2859 - 2861 turn up soon and Ashington have stupid number of minibuses again to run a PVR 4. They should be withdrawn with the Durham 57/57A/49/49A changes on paper.
