It doesn't really say the reason why it was abandoned and not immediately scrapped. It just trots out the same excuses for scrapping that have been repeated here many times. Excuses that seem a bit lame when they can suddenly reverse that decision in the case of 2 trains and lease them to a European mainland operator.
We know now the real reason is they didn't want them falling into the hands of a low cost competitor - unless that happens to be part of SNCF group.
