Apparently a lot are heading up to the liverpool & manchester area. Curiously
they're removing their 3rd rail shoegear which means they can't run on the
merseyrail system which seems a bit shortsighted to me. You'd think the more
flexibility the better.

It's possible that the shoegear is out of gauge for somewhere up there.
I think that's why the 365s had it removed when moved from south of the
river to WAGN-as-was.
