'Provision of a fleet of 30 x 4-car electric multiple units (EMUs) to
deliver existing London Thames Valley services, to the current sectional
running times (SRTs), with at least the same seated and crush laden
capacity, from the 1st of April 2023 to the 29th May 2028.

The EMUs must be capable of being powered by 25kV overhead lines, be
capable and approved for use at speeds of up to 110mph prior to entering
service, and operating in multiples, with a through gangway, of up to
three units.'

---------------

387 replacements wanted?
Is this so they can go elsewhere?
Is it to try and get leasing costs down?

Am I right that 387s are basically 379s with 3rd rail capability?
