Wasn't the funding bid for new stock turned down in the late 2000's? Or only a certain amount given to Nexus, which gave them the choice of new stock OR the station, track, signalling etc renewals.
I seem to recall funding being allocated for stock refurb and the modernisation scheme, with top ups being made if certain conditions were met - such as franchising the system out.
When it was franchised to DB, an additional pot of money was released by the government.
