As has been speculated quite a lot recently is the early withdrawal of the 52reg Cadets, Thing is we have never really had a Reason other than Reliability - But I have just been having a Look on Flickr and I came across this photo of 8248...Below, Outside Washington Depot, with the issue being with the Electrics. So with that been said, is this the main reason as to why they are to be Withdrawn come the end of 2014 after Further Investment, and is this Problem common with other Cadets in the GNE Fleet
