I'm not sure which others are going to be leased to Cross Country. At least 4 are parked at Alstom in Derby for the last few months. With the timetable increases later in the month, the other 8 may enter service in the next few weeks?

221108 and 221113 are now in service with Cross Country meaning 6 of the 12 Avanti units are now in use. It does look like 221107 through to 221118 will be the 12 transferring over.

Yes, 221107 to 221118 are the 12 sets transferring.  CrossCountry has said that all 12 sets should be in use by the timetable change on 18 May.
