Don’t know if it’s fully true but I do believe it as there was no replacements when them did transfer to Durham.
1430/7 were transferred to Durham to replace 1512/3 there which moved back to Ashington for a PVR increase of 2 while Redcar’s PVR decreased by 2 when MC2 and MC4 were reinstated to the boards they were previously on. The E300s are, as stated, additional spare vehicles for the region pending any potential frequency improvements - just so happens that Redcar are the ones in the most need at present due to the Temsas.
