Yes. The 180s were due to be transferred to East Coast in May, at the same time London Overground were supposed to get 8 172s to release their 150s. A delay in the 172 delivery will mean no cascaded units will be available to replace the 180s with Northern in May so the 180s will remain in service with Northern until the Autumn.
