They weren't retired- they were
scrapped!
They're over 30 years old and are electric so they're going to stick little diesel engines in them so they'll be even slower than the 30+ year old Pacer trains they will replace.
But what the Hell, they'll do for the Northeners.
In the meantime London gets 1000 brand new units.
Who says there's a North/South divide?
