Very interesting that LHCS is on the list. They must be much more satisfied with the Mk5s than people on here seem to think - or is there just an enthusiast quite high up in TPE who likes the traditional option?
Wouldn't a UK Siemens "Railjet" be an amazing thing?
Though I expect 80x will be the outcome (and not a bad one at all).
Also very interesting that the size of the proposed fleet differs depending which option is proposed. It seems like the LHCS option is purely additional, but the bi-mode option perhaps replacing something else too e.g. the 185s?
