These will replace the elderly double deckers at Ashington/Newcastle and the Solos at Newcastle ready for the CAZ.

I'd say the E400MMC's would be shared across Services 43/44/45 & 308 as they have a combined PVR of 19, this would release E400 Classics (7501-7509) & DB300 Geminis (7629-7637) to be replaced older deckers in the fleet. 

The E200MMC's would then be allocated to services 52/54 & 306 releasing the 14 Eco-Green Streetlites (1574-1589) to be allocated elsewhere.
