Don't forget that it's not just the Angel HSTs that need to go, the rest of the fleet needs modification or replacement.
Yes, DfT asked EMT to start a procurement to do a limited set of upgrades on the 2+8 HST fleet
(see https://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/accessibility-modifications-planned-for-midland-hsts)
However, given the glacial pace of change in this industry, I'd be astonished if the entire fleet had these interventions complete by the end of the year.
