The point about adding and removing additional coaches mentioned in the original 'Mag report was an odd one; it's unlikely that this would be realistic in the true sense due to the logistics of it - the time factor, the stabling issues and the problems of having additional locos lying around to do the deed - though it would doubtless allow massive improvements to services. One interesting possibility raised with the HST fleet was a further rebuild of the current trailers, to include power doors & tanked toilets etc, with new-build power cars. Makes sense. I fear that any newbuild loco-hauled coaching stock engines would more than likely come in the form of a 'new' class 67, they pretty much fit the bill I guess, though the barn-like styling isn't particularly impressive :-/
