The Evora's are primarily for Service 5 I understand, but the 4 spares will likely end up on the X12, as its the most logical use.

The Evora's were always planned to go to Stockton. It had nothing to do with what you are suggesting. Yes the E200's were suggested to go to Stockton initially, but people jumped the gun and assumed it was a done deal, depot staff included.
When the final locations were decided, it upset a few people in the depots who assumed they were getting the E200s. They were always planned to go to Redcar for the 63/64/65, as the interworking cycle was planned in late last year.
