I can't see GNE being interested in the B8L, although I can see another 6x E400MMC tagged onto the rumoured 56 order, which would then go to Consett (would make sense for commonality) and free up 6378-83 for the X10 which seem to be appropriately geared.
If that's the case then why not just give the extra E400MMC?? To riverside you have this thing about consett. Just give it a rest man it rely is repetitive
