Do we have a rough idea (if any) about when the 170s will transfer over to East Midlands Railway?

It is directly linked to their replacement by 196s. In the thread for those, it says crew training is starting. There doesn't appear to be any reason to have a gap between WMR withdrawal and EMR introduction, particularly since some 170/5s are already working for EMR.
