Stagecoach has lost the franchise to the First Group / MTR joint venture, who will take over in August. 90 new trains are to be ordered for suburban services.

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.

750 new carriages to replace all of the 455/456/458 and 707. Truly amazing that they are getting rid of the 707s as they are non-standard. Only eight of the thirty units have been delivered to date and none have yet been in service. Still they could find a new home pretty easily as they are dual voltage.

RE: South West Trains
So the 707 class units it seems where a waste of time being ordered by Stagecoach , technically they became a speculative order overnight for the DfT now.

The 455 / 456 seems interesting to see what will happen with this fleet as some of them are a bit long in the tooth now .

The 458 they have just spent money on these to make them bigger what for these now .
