There are four on site at Saltmeadows, all of which are in single-door format.

All have been converted to single-door at Thorntons but are being repainted at Saltmeadows.

Fleet list updated this week and 6211/6213 are still to arrive. most of the batch 6210 - 6219 have arrived but not yet painted as is 6196 still in East Yorkshire colours. The ones from Manchester that wearn't repainted have returned there weather this is permanent or temporary I don't know.
