RE: C2C
With these trains coming up to 15 years old and National Express having just gained a new franchise for C2C, this is a good time to start refurbishing the 357s.

RE: C2C
C2C are to lease 6 x Class 387 units from Porterbrook. These are likely to come from the speculative order that Porterbrook placed with Bombardier, Derby last year.

On a 3 year lease which will end when a much larger new order for C2C is delivered.

According to this website below

There will be 17 4-car sets which will be delivered in 2019.
Does anyone know what class will it be?
