The important thing to me imo is getting 6301-6314 off long distance stuff and onto town work asap. They're all shot to bits and are causing bother at both Deptford and Washington. What you replace them with there's loads of options but imo they're the biggest issues in the fleet, right now.
Consett also desperately need something newer aswell since they're relying on the battered X10 B9's and ex Yorkshire / Manchester junk and the reliability is coming with it.
Riverside is hard to comment as anything that touches that place is unreliable lately so it's hard to say whether it's the vehicles or the engineers or a bit of both.
