I'm not convinced that there ever will be 2014 stock. The latest
I've heard bandied around at work is 20 stock.

Assuming it does happen (either '14 or '20) the feeling is that it's
most likely to be an updated version of 96 stock.


Don't you mean an updated version of 95 stock (which I thought was an
updated version of 96 stock despite the name)?


You would have thought so but Jubilee stock has been specifically
mentioned to me as the last few were built only a couple of years ago.


Did the new build of 96 stock still have the obsolete GTO traction control
or did they update it to the now more or less universal IGBT type?
