Wouldn't have thought the Group has offered them for external sale just yet - which would probably mean the likes of Alpha and Wigleys taking a punt at then given their age. The likes of the 54 platers are also in that pot too, possibly all of Stocktons come network changes.

BIB: depends how serve they are. From what I've heard on the grapevine, Stockton are only expected to see a PVR drop of 6 - which would in theory see the MANs off. In reality however, given a disposal example is still in service here (until 27508 enters service or 27510 is sorted in theory), that might not see all of them off.
