The January 2019 edition of The Railway Magazine tells us "Seats would be removed, some window panels blanked out, and the floor is likely to be strengthened to accommodate roll cages containing parcels and similar. Sliding double-doors mean no modification is expected, but a ramp mechanism to get roll cages or pallets from the platform to the train would be needed."

Is it actually worth it though? Added weight will slow them down. Wouldn't we be better off building a Tri Mode or a Bi mode loco like the Class 88's and some converted MK3's?
