15 E400MMCs are to transfer from Manchester to Hull once the new examples for Hyde Road are delivered. The other new E400MMCs for Manchester's Ashton-upon-Lyme depot will trigger a cascade that will release E400s 19621-40 to East Scotland to replace Tridents on Fife School work (Fife have an age restriction on their scholars) - these 20 are the unique MAN-engined examples built as a trial.
