Sorry, Colin - all the stock that was on order has now been delivered
(most recently six intermediate motors to make the two-car 168s up to
four cars).
Not according to this month's Modern Railways.
I'm sure that the "six Turbostar cars" referred to on page 34 are the six
that have just been delivered. They were completed three months ago and
delivered to the customer in the last month, the sets being reformed with
them last week. Other than a speculative OJEU notice for the provision of
new stock (anticipating transfer of the Central Trains south of Birmingham
services) there is nothing outstanding
AFAIK, all ordered Turbostars are now
in their (currently) proposed formations:
Four-car: 168 001-005/106/107/215-217
Three-car: 168 108-113/214/218/219
