Just of curiosity which boards do 5234 to 5238 operate, I know there is a couple of 92's which they do.

There's a couple of things in the pipeline for Toon Link, yes.

There are no plans to repaint 5234-38 at this stage; they will be allocated to the Miscellaneous Works contracts in "Toon Link" branding for now, although may be stripped of vinyls in future depending on how badly the bodywork will be affected by the removal of these vinyls. Nexus have invited operators to tender for the Miscellaneous Works contracts due to commence in September 2019, so the current contracts which 5234-38 will be allocated to might not necessarily be retained this year.

They'll transfer to Washington next month.

I don't think it's yet public knowledge as to what will replace them at Deptford, although I have seen plenty of speculation!
