Hopefully they've sneaked a few in for the X10 too which would displace the E400MMCs to help out at Consett!

Also - although the 56 was mentioned, surely GNE would keep the 56 branded as that's a key route for GNE? Unless they've had a u-turn and maybe chose the 10/10A/10B/12 instead.

With style of tree deflector attached to the front upper deck I wouldn't be surprised if this specific example was destined for Consett, from reading the comments on the Facebook Post 7 have been built thus far for Go North East.
