The only reason I can see GNE ordering another vehicle would be to cover the Castles Express PVR increase. There would be 2x options as a result for the TVT (E400MMC more likely for Red Arrows)

Option 1:
- 16x Volvo B5TL to Riverside / Hexham for TVT. This would also include 3x additional spares on top to cover the TVT + TTX.

- 6084 transferred to Crook to make up additional PVR on Castles Express.

Option 2:
- 16x StreetDecks to Riverside / Hexham for TVT. This would also include 2x additional spares on top to cover TVT. 6084 remains at Riverside as TTX spare.

- 1x StreetDeck to Chester Le Street / Crook to make up additional PVR on Castles Express.

I may have been hallucinating, but I'm pretty sure I saw 17702 on the Chillingham Road earlier!
