Makes me laugh, i was shouted down and told 3 only until December on this thread months ago when i suggested they may ramp up Mk5 use as training progressed.

It’s due to leaf fall season
Expecting more units requiring the wheel lathe.
Negative.

Ramp up in mk5a service to prepare for tinetable change.
Nor a positive idea to go from minimum to maximum in the space of 48 hours...

(There may be other side benefits, of course).
