G'day,
Given that we will need to start replacing DMU's in the next 10 - 15 years perhaps we should follow SNCF's approach and order some Bi-modes? These would be ideal for many routes where full electriification is at the moment only a dream and could easily be converted to EMU's in the future.
Surely this would make sense for the S&C, transpennine routes via the Hope Valley, the Buxton branch, Derby to Matlock, Derby to Crewe etc. Not only that but we wouldn't have to worry about introducing new services operated by DMU's.
Your thoughts would be very welcome!
