Yorkshire are struggling to get any sort of half decent reliability from their hybrids, so have swapped with Manchester. The physical components between the batches are near enough the same, but the setups are different (I'm not sure in what respect sadly, would guess at software though).

Manchester are apparently trying to see if Yorkshire's setup works, and if not tweak it. Yorkshire are evaluating how the Manchester setup works in the hillier environment of Sheffield.

There was talk a few weeks back of a similar swap with North East, who are also [allegedly] struggling slightly with hybrid availability.
