    Wasn't the original term 10 years from 2016 so one assumes the answer is probably up to the KWVR?

    And presumably whether Rileys have a continuing use of its services - seems like 35009 has been quietly progressing and they've also acquired 5163 since they originally took 5212 on. Meanwhile WCRC seems to be retrenching including from its West Highland monopoly

    While there is some work happening on 35009, it is many years away from completion.
    5163 is on lease from the owners and is probably a few years off completion.
