It's not clear where 90 new trains includes the 30 x 707s already on order. 18 of the class 442s are to be retractioned and will return to service under the next franchise. They have not taken up the (DfT) suggested option of taking on the 185s released by TPE. I imagine that will increase the chance of DfT looking at splitting up Liverpool-Norwich and using 185s on the western section again. |
