its a shame with the Carlisle cascade that there doesn't sound like there is going to be an effort to increase carrying capacity across the region. i think the six that have arrived so far you could have easily done a 50/50 split between removing 3 ALX300 from service at slatyford and putting 2 in service at hartlepool, 3 E200s at slatyford cascading them to hartlepool.
5MANviros out of service and 1 ALX300 to be used for component recovery doesn't sound too bad especially now more E300s seem to be slated for here
