Although it's expected a further order for 127 & 5/5A will be made imminently following the next round of funding (which will also see pretty much all Loughborough going electric, except for sky, midland Diamond & the few Centrebus routes).
It's also thought the 148/158 corridor could be going electric too (thanks to Warwick receiving a share of the fund.. although not sure if yet officially confirmed or just early speculation).
On the topic of the 4401/4402 transfers to Leicester I would have thought it would have made far more sense for these to have gone to Merseyside with Leicester instead retaining 4531/4532 to give both areas a more uniform fleet.
