North East & Yorkshire have been effectively merged for a few years now, with the same management team 'controlling' both divisions. Fleet swaps between the two will likely be happening more often, as fleets become more standardised.
It is interesting to see Midlands & Shires being merged together, when you'd expect Shires & Southern Counties would probably be a better fit.
I don't know much about the stuff going on behind the scenes but certainly there is restructuring going on as part of Deutsche Bahn's push for growth across the business, although they have recently announced intentions to float part of Arriva on the stock exchange.
