As for what happened (re Prestiges and ALX300 DAFs), originally all the Prestiges were coming off however problems with a number of the ALX300s meant they were earmarked for withdrawal instead (apart from 4096 which was withdrawn with the Prestiges). Officially, the only Prestiges Redcar should be using are 4042/71/80.
Indeed! Also in use are 1737, 1739, 4041, 4044 and 4068! lol
1711 has been withdrawn (again another reserve but was still being used...) with the arrival of 1653.
