I wonder if GNE had any issues with 6338-55? 

Unless there's no grounding 'hotspots' on the Derwentside - Newcastle routes or X10. Only routes I think could be tight are the X71 from Medomsley to Burnopfield and X72 through Tantobie and Sleepy Village. And maybe some tight areas around Shotley Bridge on the X45.
