E400MMC 11288 (39/40 branded) & 11299 (albino) have gone on loan from Walkergate to Stockton to help with extra capacity during the Covid19 situation.
E200MMC 26286 (36/37/38 branded) has gone from Stockton to Walkergate though unsure if it will be used - it transferred up this morning after working 5197.
I'm told two E400 have transferred from Walkergate to Slatyford too but unsure which as yet.

26286 back on its regular stomping ground. Was running on service 13 today. Shame we aren't going to be able to hang onto the E400 deckers.
Thanks for that that. Thought it odd when I read the original post. Those E400MMC deckers are hellish vehicles. A shame we can't have more of them down here in Teeside. I guess when things return to normal passenger levels will dictate otherwise.
11288/99 remain at Stockton today
19204/5/383 have re-entered service - 19204/383 are out on 36/37/38/39/12 and 19205 has worked the SL6 this morning and could possibly end up out on 12/39/36/37/38 later. 19211 is also now outside in the yard however it's parked nose-in.
EDIT
Allocation
11288 is on the 36/37/38 board that ends up spending the night on 12/14/39

Has Stockton acquired more deckers from Newcastle ? Talking with one of the drivers while he laid over at Cleveland Centre and he said another 5 had arrived, in readiness for the next timetable changes.
