For specialised assets like S stock trains, which have no market other
than on LU, you'd be locked into a life-of-train lease of, say, 25

I'm sure someone would buy them if LU sold them now. Someone bought up some
old D stock to convert into DEMUs after all!

At little more than scrap prices.


I suppose S stock could be converted to 3rd rail and let loose on southern
region somewhere. Unless its too wide.

The width and the low top speed could both be show stoppers.
