(16 Aug 2015, 9:02 pm)northern156 I thought the current Northern franchise has a 'no growth' agreement; and that purchase of new rolling stock was in contravention to this so this is why they have always had second-hand stock. Otherwise this is probably why we've never had new stock sooner.
Sure I've read that before but I'm happy to be corrected.
