I know; it's been suggested that some transfers might be permanent, though:

Following recent PVR changes [113 moving to Chorley] all 6 darts previously at Preston were removed from allocated services (ie. they became spares). As Preston were overfleeted for MD spares, but lacking in Solo spares, I wonder if 2 of those Solos recently withdrawn from Chorley have turned up at Preston, with 4 or so darts moving to Merseyside.

We'll have to wait and see then.
Much as some people in Merseyside have moaned about the lack of double deckers on some routes, the bosses do seem keen to focus on single deckers. It might suit Cumbria to get rid, with their new fleet arriving after the Olympics.
