I noticed not only Jamie Burles confirmed premiums going to treasury and 104% revenue in monetary terms excluding inflation, he also talks about replace the 755s with a Stansted express unit on the IC run for extra capacity which to me implies 720s will be used frequently on the Stansted run from Dec.
The most interesting bit is he implies the GEML recast is looking like June 24, with faster journey times - not Norwich in 90 but if most got to 1hr 45, very achievable if enough time can be allowed after the stopping service in front so the IC doesn't catch it, I was on a peak service that basically got to just before Colchester 10mins early and then waited.
Fact remains though its very limited what can be done on a 2 track railway.
