(20 Dec 2024, 9:46 am)L469 YVK wrote Given the age of the depot though and the re-sale value of the land (going by CLS closure), it would be no doubt easier for GNE to shut Percy Main and move to Riverside if they electrified the 307 & 309.
Problem is GNE won't exist soon so it's probably better to just hold it out and sell it to NECA instead.
They have to pay market value anyway and NECA give or take would be paying for a fair chunk of the electric equipment anyway.
It's in their best interests to have it anyway.
Mind it'll be interesting to see if they change something with the 9 at some point. The 24 minutes it waits around at Sunderland is an awful waste of resources every board. Don't believe there's any changes with this or alternatively move it back to Percy Main.
