Class 365 to WCML

[Class313:)]

Would it be viable to get the 21 soon-to-be-off-lease class 365s onto the WCML to replace the 319s? 319s in my opinion are old and badly needing a Renatus-style refurb. So what about the 365s? i know they'd need a traction refurb because of the signalling interferance, but is it viable in the long term?

By traction refurb, do you mean they will replace the original motors (or was it the inverter) like they did with the BREL 465s or is that completely different?

 

[Class313:)]

I mean they replace whatever messes with the signal systems so they can clear it for the line

The LNW 319s are being replaced by means of the WMT Aventras. So no, there’s no need for this.
