They will also partially replace the 456 fleet which as mentioned is passing to South West Trains. London Midland tendered for TPE, it makes no difference who orders the stock! I won't argue on here, but this is definitely connected with the NW Electrification scheme. My point about Merseyrail is that you may find that it is very, very cost effective for them to tag their order for new stock on to the 377 production line. If Southern order a very, very large batch of 377s for a variety of uses/operators, the price per unit is a lot lower. |
