Whether or not they'd be any good, or even available for the NE, I don't know.
They actually coming to Northern? Must admit haven't been looking at RailUK much lately but last time I looked a few month back the Northern management said they weren't taking any more Class 15x on and what's here is here until the new stock come, which is ridiculous if the Class 158's end up without a home.
