According to a community rail officer she attended a conference where an option was put forward to create 75 new DMUs for National Rail. The idea is adding complaint diesel engines to refurbished D78 rolling stock released from London Underground in 2016. Does anyone know anymore about this?
Obviously the D78s don't have toilets but then the Pacers and most of the Sprinters don't have toilets which meet the post-2019 requirements of being accessible and retention toilets and also the seating would need to be made suitable for whatever routes they are cascaded to.
