Plus from the looks of it First did not account for such power supply limitations in their bid unlike Stagecoach, and are having problems because of it.I've asked the question before, and the answer is no. They could be converted to DC, it's true, but where would you store 37 4-car units that are surplus to requirements? The biggest problem for me is the power supply down on the Wessex route, which is pretty much at bursting point...again.
