This summer, however, I understand they may be looking at adding an eighth vehicle into the PVR, again Redcar will be operating 2 boards using OmniCitys or Temsas (whatever they can spare that has a Tachograph) while Whitby will work the rest with whatever deckers the X93 ends up.

As Redcar has had some reliability problems.....Does it make sense allocating 8 B7TL on x93 if the pvr is increased, the remaining 3 B7s can replace 7367,7482,7483 at ashington.Redcar/whitby lose 6 Enviro400s to ashington.
In turn the 6 alx400s at ashington replace belmonts older 6 with 2 off them going to replace the 2 from classic!
I suppose their would be 3 B7s free during x93 winter timetable.Would Redcar have any alternative use for them?
If not they could go north after the summertimetable....
