Don't forget, in 3 years time they will be end of life anyway (at least the ones in Darlington will).

Given their age and poor build quality, i think Darlington have done a great job to get where they are with them now. Anyone remember the visual state (probably mechanical too) of them when the majority left Redcar a few years ago?

I'm told there is at least one at Darlington which is running locally awaiting a major unit replacement. These things may not happen overnight, as we don't know if the unit needs to be built specifically or if the one that's failed may have previously been replaced and they are chasing warranty work. At least they are being proactive to ensure they can use it in this time.
