They won't replace a block like that. It will depend which are in worst condition or out of test. Eg 1396 from Darlington came off.

4501-4510 isn’t moving to Stockton they are staying at Redcar for the X4, the reason why Stockton are getting 10 Evoras for is because there’s not enough Evoras for the PVR for the 63/64/65 when the service changes on 29th March so that’s why it was swapped so Redcar are now getting Stocktons order of 18x New E200MMCs to cover the PVR for the 63/64 & 65 and Stockton are getting Redcars order of 10x Evoras, the reason why they debranded 4505 is because Arriva wants them all plain not because they’re transferring elsewhere soon the rest will be getting done
