10810 was on 2s earlier (Chester Working) could have been running dead to start service on a 2 or X8 from Ellesmere Port ... who knows

I'm happy to be contradicted, but it would seem that Arriva's subcontracting of peak hour Rail Replacement services to Stagecoach is not necessary and the MMC's are simply sitting around doing nothing most of the time. If this is the case, the P+R MMC's should be moved on to their original intended depots and spare GM MMC's could be used on the 2, X8.
