northern electrifcation to go ahead

[387star]

As heard today Liverpool-Preston electrification goes ahead which indicates enough Thameslink trains will be ordered to cascade 319s north and poses questions about the Manchester-Glasgow service as well as new 350s?

Could tag on an order for more 380s?

Unless they cascade 319s north and use them on Glasgow services

100mph they are same as 185s...

There is already a thread talking about rolling stock allocations and movements here.

lm are building new class 350/2 so they can join 350's to 321's

Why on earth would LM want to pair 350s with Dusty Bins ??

Yes, but there is absolutely no reason LM would be ordering 350s to work in multiple with just seven 321s, which have a completely different design of coupling that is no longer used for new build trains. If LM were purchasing 350s at all, which isn't the case anyway, it would more than likely be to replace the few remaining 321s.

i think it says on wikipedia about the 350 /2's

There are many, many things on Wikipedia that should be taken with a truckload of salt. I've had a quick browse of both the London Midland and Desiro Wiki pages and can't see any mention of this peculiar idea.
