Very likely means Pulsars on the Stockton workings until 4511-4520 arrive (and also until Stockton's staff are familiarised on the Evoras - as I understand some Stockton duties already have Redcar work on there).
Should be 2 spare deckers at Stockton - 3 for X94s and 1 for the 63/64/65 board tied to Laurence Jackson times. Of course, until 7599 returns from repairs, one of those spares will be at Whitby to cover.
Stockton provide 3 of 8 on Mon-Sat, all of which finish at Whitby. Whitby therefore run 5 of them, 3 of which finish at Stockton so the fleet will rotate every day so if a Pulsar does go on the X4 you can guarantee Whitby will be sending it on a Stockton finish the next day!
