You seem to be forgetting that Blyth also have 7425 which is an intended replacement whilst the Hybrids are away. 7439 will likely just be providing further back up, and as such won't 'stay' on any route, it will be used wherever it is needed.
if 7439 is going to blyth I think 7472 will stay at ashington
