Default HLOS - Thameslink rumours from Reuters

to gain over the next 2-3 years *both* the existing SN 377/2 and SET
375/6 fleets (15+30=45 units) - with AC activated on the latter -
for this ''step 1''.

This will require dual voltage trains for the services - which are
likely to be the 377s mentioned - running in "plain vanilla livery"
for FCC and Southeastern... I've not heard any mention of ending the
Southern service to Watford although with these all being 4-car


My wording was careful as was my care in not posting the rumour
details.

You are possibly better placed to get official lines than I am - but
all I will say is I never implied '' ending the Southern service to
Watford '' - I only said ''all 377/2s''.

There are other appropriate dual voltage units in the whirlpool of
rumours.
