Replacing the 442s was not being discussed publicly until the GoVia bid details appeared. I think most people were surprised on the day. I don't recall it being an explicit requirement of the ITT.
I don't think it was. But I know the spares are getting harder and more costly to come across for 442 units.
Govia have enough Electrostar parts to build their own fleet of trains!
