As someone who has very little knowledge in this area (our Corbridge resident may have a better idea), I think the current engines will remain in place and the appropriate systems brought in place with the existing engines?
The Fab56 and Cobalt Clipper operates a rather high total mileage compared to other routes; as such, a higher fuel efficiency will work very well to deliver cost savings to the company. In addition, local councils will be in favour of those services with a higher frequency receiving these modifications, as exhaust emissions are reduced.

Hard-pressed Tyne Valley rail passengers from Hexham and Corbridge are being urged to beat this week’s rail fares increases by switching to our Tynedalexpress service.

Good to see promotion of the Tynedalexpress. I raised similar points here, in the Northern Rail thread.
