And 378s won't be used on GOBLIN either.

Are they planning on buying a whole new set of EMUs just for the goblin then?
I find that hard to believe.

Is Spud related to Mr Ludd by any chance?

No. I'm simply Mr Taxpayer who isn't thrilled by seeing huge wads of cash
spent on this project when there was a much simpler and cheaper alternative.
The whole freight argument is bogus since the vast majority of UK freight is
diesel hauled and there is already a 25KV path for freight across north london
anyway.
