If the Toon Link was to get deckers but could find something short term until next year, GNE could do this:
- Riverside / Hexham get 14+2 spare deckers for the TEN.
- 6071 - 6083 meet the exact PVR of 13 allowing the Toon Link to be upgraded without upstaging the TEN.
- Tyne Tees Xpress gets 6 + 1 spare deckers allowing 6043 - 6048 to go to Crook for the Pronto.
- Red Arrows Geminis (6001-7 and 6049-53) get power sockets fitted and joined alongside 6084.
- Deptford lose 6099 to Washington which then joins the rest of the Red Arrows B9s at Washington.
- Washington in turn release 6054 / 6055 to CLS (no power sockets) but would be fitted with the same systems as what the Cobalt Clipper and Fab 56 B9s are getting and make up the full PVR of 17 on the Angel.
- 3941 remains at Riverside as a spare for the Toon Link.
- 3942 goes to Crook as a spare for the Pronto.
- 3963 goes to Deptford as a spare for the 56 alongside 6100.
- 3964 goes to Percy Main as a spare for the 309 / 310 alongside 6117.
- 3962 and 3965 remain at Chester as Angel spares.
