Thameslink and Great Northern
RE: Thameslink
This will surely be good news for regular Thameslink passengers, for whom First's running of the franchise was a long way from acceptable.

The announcement confirms the replacement of the Class 313s on the Great Northern from 2018 onwards (although nothing mentioned as to the future of those allocated to Lovers Walk). Although they will be over 43 years old by the time the whole fleet is replaced, I hope they can find further use elsewhere, perhaps on the Cardiff Valley Lines for a period. Obviously there is the clear similarity with Merseyrail's 507/8s and the capacity problems on the Northern Line, but I very much doubt any of the 313s will ever return to Merseyside.

3101(i) | 3305 | 3616 | 4012 | 4159 | 4100 | 4102 | 4118 | 4127 | 4475
313044 | 313064 | 313220 | 314206 | 314210 | 315809 | 315839 | 315857 | 507001 | 507002 | 507006 | 507008 | 507009 | 508114 | 508138 | 508208
