oh great :x now we have alienators (323), pendofailure, and two types of Desiro, on the WCML37422 Cardiff Canton said:Re: Class 360 Desiro.
Plans are afoot to transfer the whole fleet of 21 Class 360 Desiros from ONE Great Eastern to West Coast Rail in exchange for a similar number of Class 321s.
The Class 360s which do not have end doors are to go to West Coast North Sector AKA Central Trains, in turn releasing 20 Class 350s to West Coast South Sector AKA Silverlink Trains.
Thus having two fleet of trains to each sector, the need for end doors on Northern WC services is minimal, however to high commuter level of service into London Euston requires end doors, enter the remaining 350s.
The whole fleet of 51 units both 350/360 will be maintained at Northampton TMD.
Re: Class 321.
The number of class 321s to be transferred to ONE GE is around the number of 360s to be received the other way about 20/21 however 3-6 Class 321s MAY then go to First ScotRail to be used on the North Berwick Branch instead of the current Class 90 + MK3 Stock. In turn bring the Class 322s back to East Anglia.
The Great Northern / Thameslink Franchise requires additional rolling stock, bidders are being asked to quote for diesel units, however the release of the 360s and traction cascaded will allow the Class 321s to release 317s from ONE to be used on by Thameslink / Great Northern.
