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

Any cascade from there would certainly have to wait until the electric turn up, as the E400MMCs currently being displaced from Witney by a batch of brand new E400MMCs are already spoken for.
