The transfer of 4923 from Riverside to Deptford was noted by myself last month here and confirmed on Go North East's Fleet News a week later here.
The Next Stop Announcements are not yet functional on any of the new vehicles. Note that the website states they are "coming soon": http://www.simplygo.com/all-services/coast-and-country

Must of missed the transfer of 4923, haven't taken many photos in Sunderland as of late, particularly PL since GNE Service Changes.
