GoVia West Midlands have announced the signing of the somewhat delayed order

trains will now follow as well...

Interesting - I wonder what price they've had to pay after the mistake
of saying they'd be Turbostars when the tendering / negotiation process
was far from complete.

I do hope the TfL order follows sharpish as I want new trains on the
GOBLIN as it's my local (Overground) line and (almost) anything must be
better than clapped out 150s.

I appreciate we don't really have a definitive view of the 1300 or 1700
new carriages but I've yet to see the GOBLIN diesel replacements
anywhere on any summary published so far.
