But IEPs aren't expected on that line.

Aren't they...


No, all the ones on order are spoken for by VTEC and GWR.


Not true: do your research.


Cite please.

There's only one tph (to Nottingham) operated by HSTs, and now
electrification has been cancelled they'll have to find something else
to replace the HST. But I doubt it'll be IEPs.


Doubt it all you likeā€¦


It makes no sense to have an IEP mini-fleet to run 1tph.
