ITYF that FCC are only getting 5 units. The trouble is that NXEA
wouldn't want to part with as many as 12 321s. i don;t think they
are
getting that many from LM.


ITYF that LM are giving up 27 321s (at least, the original plan was
for 30) to a combination of NXEA and FCC, so there should be plenty
to
allow either FCC to cascade all their 317s to NXEA or for NXEA to
cascade the necessary 317s to FCC instead of 321s.

I've seen units 401-410 mentioned as going to FCC (5 units is hardly
a viable fleet size for FCC operation)


I'm fairly sure FCC are ending up with only 5 units.


According to Q2 at
http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk...&iForum Id=15
FCC are getting 5 units for the May timetable change and then a further
5 units by December.
