This question was answered on 29th April 2019
The Sprinter fleets of trains for the Durham Coast line are being thoroughly refurbished to modern day standards. They were introduced between 1985 and 1992 and this will be the first significant refurbishment since then. Every route on Northern will be receiving either brand new trains or trains refurbished as new.
