The only way that FCC will get new rolling stock is if the Thameslink
Programme goes ahead. Since the DfT has stated that a decision on
funding will be made by next summer (although given their reputation
they may push that right to the autumn equinox), no new trains will be
procured before then.
Assuming a timely decision, there won't be any new trains until at least
2012 (when the first phase is expected to finish), and perhaps not until
2015 (when the whole project is expected to finish).
