Say MML goes ahed, would there be a strong case to just carry on the extra miles (dont know how many) to moorthorpe and doncaster from sheffield? Allowing all MML to be electric (cept those which go London nottingham sheffield) And allow sheffield leeds (via bolton on dearne) and sheffield adwick services to become electrified? Also would stopping services from leeds/doncaster to derby be a sensible idea should enough stock become avaliable? (thinking scotrails 322's that are being released)
Also would it not be an idea at this point to buy XC new dual mode trains that can run derby newcastle electric and derby reading diesel. then allow the existing voyagers to strengthen other services.
Personally i think HST's are still good enough to be used to the displaced HST's from EMT where would they be good to go?
On another note, just electrifiy to nottingham and derby and transfer HST's to sheffield services to cut costs.
