Who knows what would have happened to the stock on the ECML. We can surmise and guess. The new stock was always going to happen though (we know it had been announced/planned prior to the handover).
What we do know, is that they're paying almost twice the contract value GNER and NX did.
It was reported by Enthusiast's on the WCML at the Time of the Pendolinos entering service that Virgin ran the 86/87 and 90s + MK2/3s into the ground deliberately to get the Pendolino's more publicity, Really wouldn't be surprised if there doing a similar move here too, Considering all the fake/changed press articles released by them around the launch of the " Azuma's "
