The window looks absolutely tiny!

You might be right - the 458 does look equally awful.Still looks more spacious than a class 458 cab!
Seems like a Hitachi tradition (395 has that)Have to ponder what the cushioned bit at the top of the desk is for…

is this something that would come under "route clearance"?Personally I've no idea, that electrical technical stuff is a bit beyond me!
How is this even legal as a working environment...
I wonder how any sane person could design such an abomination.From that article…

December it seems for the introduction

would it matter? Ideally it would be the 385s but anything that facilitates the cascade to allow this timetable change to take place would be welcomed.But is that 385s in December or any potential stand ins?!

I used to think that.. but looking at Siemens and now Hitachi gangway'd stock.. we've got it good! Haha. A 313 feels less cramped!i thought the 377s that i drive were bad. These are awful
Perhaps a look at the old class 309 cab could show how to do it. SeeI used to think that.. but looking at Siemens and now Hitachi gangway'd stock.. we've got it good! Haha. A 313 feels less cramped!

in principle, yes, and has already been happening. However there's only so many diagrams that are suitable (or politically acceptable) for deploying 320s so there's not too many 380s that can be released, certainly not enough to cover the E&G requirement.Assuming a long delay in introducing the 385s is the answer this:
Transfer the spare 365s to Greater Anglia but maintained at Hornsey. This releases 321s which go to Scotland as 3 cars, releasing 380s to cover. Simpler for Scotland and keeps the 365s where the expert staff are for maintenance.
Are the 315's currently heading for scrap not suitable as a stopgap. Look identical to 314's

Concerning 365s presumably working in pairs they don't fit at Glasgow Queen Street hence why a pair of Class 380s are formed of a 4 car and a 3 car version so how would this be solved? (I guess 1x Class 365 would be insufficient capacity on the E&G at peak times.)
According to Wikipedia 8 315's are off lease and on this thread https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/class-315-withdrawals.153008/page-5 are in warm storage at Wolverton.These aren't available yet. Class 345s as 7 cars were supposed to replace them but the 7 car versions are now heading operate Paddington to Hayes and Harlington services instead as the bay at Hayes doesn't fit a nine carriage Class 345 I believe. The Class 315s staying longer on GE to compensate.
However the Class 315s would be similiar to Class 314s so could displace Class 380s to E&G for wahat looks like the foreseeable future. Some Class 315s may become available from West Anglia depending how Class 710 construction is coming along.
