I wouldn't recommend just replacing the MANs with long length E200s. The X77/78/79 has somewhat complicated interworking diagrams with the X82/87/88 so you couldn't really upgrade the Newbiggin Hall expresses without also upgrading the others. The 6 and 7 could also do with an upgrade in capacity. The 55 and 06 reg MANs would be ideal for this.
