I would expect a TM change. would it be worth at this late stage. This type of motor had serious commutation problem, as did all G310 motors. It affected all the stock that had them fitted, which was a lot. Hong Kong mass transit was a major customer.
Does anyone remember the introduction of the 507. They where an utter dissaster. continous failings. which went on for a long tme. Bring back the 502 was the quote. Sands of time.
depends on the general condition. MA sets arent that difficult to change. But do they replacement machines. And what is the state of the wheelsets, bogies and traction motors.
175 & 180 were the coradia units got built. There should have been a fleet of 3car 180s, for FNW To operate London sevices. FNW lost the paths down the WCML. Three other companies were seriusly looking at fleets of coradias.
