But if the wires are only going a certain way you can run newer local services under the wires making the most of them and keep the current 222s to run the longer distance stuff. So make all MML stuffs first stop Leicester and have a fleet of 'new' trains run all stops to up to the end of the electric cables. Then it saves money on more horrible 800(poor seats) and reduces the need to get rid of stock the have years left in them. TOC are being very unimaginative at the moment just ordering loads of 800s. That's my view anyway: change the service patters to locals on electric to Leicester then have all MML inter-city stuff making their fist stop at Leicester(except certain peak trains of course) using the current stock.You'd rather keep having diesels running under wires rather than maximise the use of the wires?
