Not true: do your research. Cite please. Class 802/2s have been ordered for Hull Trains (5) and TPE (19). You'll be delighted that this is confirmed by Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britis...#Fleet_details There's only one tph (to Nottingham) operated by HSTs, and now electrification has been cancelled they'll have to find something else to replace the HST. But I doubt it'll be IEPs. Doubt it all you like… It makes no sense to have an IEP mini-fleet to run 1tph. There's six HSTs. Grayling says bi-modes will replace them. Can you think of any other bi-modes available for immediate purchase with 100+ mph capability? If Hull trains can operate five, why shouldn't EMT? Presumably Hitachi will maintain them. |
