The project includes power upgrade.

To say unlikely is really quite wrong, it was hard in the IEP EMU
version for these to go to Kings Lynn, and one assumes that whatever
the final version of IEP or equivalent turns out to be then the
express EMU will go there.

Personally I don't believe this 5-car IEP will materialize. What's
needed is an HST replacement, not a 365 replacement.
