Yes lots of old stock is due to head north in the next few years. 315 & 317 from Lorol, to be followed by 313, 317, 319 & 321 from Thameslink/Great Northern joint franchise when the Thameslink project comes to fruition.
Though I read in the paper yesterday that NR is in big trouble over its financial and project management -and that the MML and Trans Penine wiring is to be cancelled. Which is a serious blow.
GWR wiring not to be affected though.
