    London Overground still has at least 50 'redeployed guards' currently doing station roles at present maybe if the price was right they could assist for 6 months or so on a 313,315,319 or 365 or whatever traction is available.

    New c2c trains

    Pure speculation but I think it could be possible for C2C to retain the 6x387 and compiment it with 15x387/1 from Great Northern allowing the entire 365 fleet to remain with GN when the 700’s arrives.
