According to an Ashington/Alnwick driver - 7453 keeps running hot while 7455 has suspension issues. 7454/6 is presently running fine but really they need to be allocated to something less demanding than Ashington routes. Plus, considering most of Ashington's decker output will be MAX before too much longer with just the 20/X20 34 and 35/35A/100 which only requires 8 deckers, it makes perfect sense to send 7453-6 to Durham to 'standardise' the Lowlanders at the depot. Also then gives Durham something else to use on X1(X12)/X2 once the Geminis go off for MAX refurbishment.
