The LM trains on loan to Southern still have LM route maps in them
then? If so (what you say isn't entirely clear), then that's a bit

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.

So, only a small subset of the LM fleet but enough to come and go between
LM and Southern for maintenance. Most of the LM Desiro fleet don't have
shoegear, surely?
