There are 13 or 14 2-car class 2700 sets which are hidden away in storage. Last year there appeared to have been plans to refurbish and return them to service. These units should be the obvious first answer to any emerging capacity shortages.
Has anything happened? Do we have a transport minister and an NTA which are more interested in "grand projets" than in short-term practical and affordable piecemeal improvements?
