Northern do have to secure 18 x 2 car 170s or equivalent in addition to the cascades from GWR and Scotrail so released 170s increases the chance of those being 170s rather than equivalents to 170s.

I imagine the 156s will end up at EMT, along with the 5 x 156s which Scotrail are releasing which haven't been secured by Northern - that may allow them to release their 153s.
