Why ask such a question ?

Since BedPan / Thameslink electrification WH PSB has sucessfully
managed to run the same railway for 15 years without routing HST to
Moorgate - or 319s to Junction Road Junction or any other
non-electrified diverging route, why would you except this happen now.

Because people do sometimes make mistakes?

During the Ipswich Tunnel closure, an Intercity set was routed on to the
Lowestoft Line, where the was no power.
Also a few years ago, an 86+set was routed away from the wires at Norwich.
