Notes:
These trains are due to be replaced by 46 new trains due to be built by Stadler for introduction by 2026. A number of the above are out of service with longstanding faults and are unlikely to be returned to service.
4001 and 4040 were not included as part of a refurbishment project in 2012-2015. Their use is limited and they can only work with each other and not any of refurbished vehicles. Both are now stored out of service, not expected to return.
4001 is to be preserved at the Stephenson Railway Museum.
