They have displaced the bulk of Mansfield's older deckers - Trident/ALX400 17709/38/9 and President 18028/39/43 - to reserve, with 18039/43 going to Hull and the rest remaining at Mansfield. Also due to be displaced are E300 27762-5/81 - which are heading for Grimsby to release E200s to Scunthorpe to see off Darts.
