    They didn’t replace the 14x’s on 99% of routes though. Passengers would’ve previously been travelling on 15X’s… The only anomaly that instantly springs to mind is the hope valley line? To be quite honest, the 142’s and 144’s should’ve never gone. Plenty of routes would’ve benefitted from the...
