Perhaps if that was all that was wrong with them then they could have been fitted with the system and have a future elsewhere. It is, after all, quite a simple retrofit using the same traction and braking interfaces as the AWS, which was fitted from new, and there's a design that could be followed from the similar class 333s which clearly have TPWS today. The HEX trains have been troublesome in recent years however and are probably fairly worn out after so much intensive high speed use shuttling back and forth to the airport. They would be difficult to retrofit with ETCS, one of the reasons no doubt leading to their planned displacement from airport duties. The 387s that will replace them were already specced as 'ETCS ready' so that has been a comparatively easy modification.
Oh, that's interesting. Are there any photos of it?
I filmed the interior of it see
Wow. I can imagine foreign passengers who've just come to the country thinking "what is this?!"
Siemens are probably using any seat bases they have, not much point ordering new ones for a fleet which isn't far off a refurbishment which will replace the seats.
You're thinking of the 360/1s - the 360/2s are the Heathrow ones and aren't being transferred.
Easy to get confused
the 360/2s have been replaced though haven't the or are they still awaiting replacement?Easy to get confused
As has been said elsewhere the Thai fleet is 5 x 3-car and 4 x 4-car. If the Heathrow fleet were to move, they could have a standard fleet of 14 x 4-car.
