Glad you confirmed that, I was sat on an E400 looking through an E200 trying to count an E300 so it was getting confusing haha

Hopefully although I doubt it, SNE will be able to blag some of the Oxford E400 MMCs if and when the electrics enter service down their. 

By my working out if slatyford received ten of those and cascaded 8 single decks to Sunderland (based on capacity I would say single deck MMCs) you could then withdraw 4 of the MANviro E200s and either 4 of the gas buses or keep them spare incase of what happened the other week and the gas plant goes down.

I was under the impression that the 22 could cope with a few single decks being run on it, it maybe because of the GNE strikes
