The LM trains on loan to Southern still have LM route maps in them

rotate (for maintenance purposes etc)?

They must be fixed, surely? They had to fit shoegear which only applies to
the units loaned to Southern.


They're not fixed, as there are at least 10 units with shoegear and
the 'spares' still operate LM services. There is an ECS diagram to/
from Selhurst to swap units over for maintenance.

And does anyone have any idea how much longer this situation will
persist - and yes, I know it's dependent on deliveries of new
Electrostars to FCC, so I suppose my question is when will FCC have
enough new Electrostars up and running?

Have they stopped sending them back for rectification yet?
