However, the plan still seems to be one E400 to Durham and 1 to Darlington with the displaced Pulsar from Darlington going to Durham - which means Durham actually end up losing 2 Pulsars and gaining one with a lower capacity. Makes far more sense to send both E400s to Durham and covert two all day 6 boards to double decker operation.
The same person also reckons it will be the two displaced 14 plate examples that end up moving south of the Tyne.
Plan now seems to be 1513 will transfer from Darlington to Belmont with Darlington getting 7538 in return, so my theory is the two ex Ashington E400's will end up on the 6 and the 24 will get 1513.
