- 6x B9TL - 43/44/45 (or whatever Blyth throw them on)
- 6x E400 Classics back to Ashington for X14/X20
- 4x (on top of the 2x already down there) E400MMC to Whitby for the X93/X94.
Instead of looking North and Ashington having to bail out the mess of Redcar why not look South.
It's ran by Arriva Yorkshire the maintenance team so maybe they should be the ones who should be dealing with it.
Operationally both areas are led by one management team now as far as I'm aware anyway.
