Is it a case of the new Streetlites for the X1 allow these to be removed by giving an overall balance of numbers at Darlington or will a further shuffle (of what??) be required?
For 1733/42/50/95/96 (and 1758) to be removed from service, Darlington have to receive 2852-61, allowing 2803/4/5/7/8/26/9 to move to Stockton releasing 1769/71/2 to join Darlington's 1760/7/91 in moving to Blyth. As 2857/61 are still being used by Jesmond and the rest appear to be in storage there, it's a case of waiting for spare drivers to allow the moves to take place
