Also, I doubt South Shields will be recieving a Dart in this move - officially 33492 (like 33484/829 at Sunderland, and 33486/91 at Hartlepool) is a reserve vehicle so should in theory be withdrawn without replacement.
They may be reserve vehicles but all see service daily. As for the amount or newer darts becoming available from Sunderland i cant see them withdrawing them yet just to keep 'reserve' darts in front line service.
