Reported to be some moving from Newcastle to South Shields, which then leaves the question of what they will be replaced by there. Also leaves the question of what will be leaving South Shields as a result. Considering they'll be a reduced need for MANs as a result of the Enviro400s arriving (only need maximum of 4 in effect, 2 for the X20 1 as back up for that plus an additional 1 as back up to the Enviro300s), it would allow for the replacement for some of the S-reg MANs (if cascaded to Teesside, 22451/2/4-6 could be replaced, releasing 6 would allow the entire batch to be replaced if one when to Sunderland to replace 22453). Until we know more, the amount of speculation is endless (another 'rumour' going round is that some of South Shields' Enviro300s will be transferring to Sunderland, though I can't see that happening).
