How costly will it be to bring the 2700s back into service? Considering they've had several refurbishments and always seem to cause problems, is this a case of throwing good money after bad?

I know getting the current government to loosen the purse strings where public transport is concerned is a near impossibility, but I can't help wondering if it would work out cheaper in the long run to order another batch of 29Ks from CAF (possibly with some modifications to the spec). They may not be perfect, but their reliability has been rock solid, and keeping the number of different types of stock down would give economies of scale for maintenance and driver training.
