British Rail Class 315 - Plans

Plans

Class 315s are rumoured to be replaced after the London Olympic Games at Stratford in 2012, as by then they will nearly be life expired (around 2014).

It has been announced recently that a number of the class 315's are to be refurbished with new interiors which will allow them to meet new DDA regulation due to come into effect in 2020.

There seems to be a good future for a number of the class 315's once they have been withdrawn from service in East Anglia and that is because a proposal is that some the class 315's will be used to work services on the Cardiff Valley Lines network once electrification work is completed by 2019.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:

    Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    Man you ought to see his plans for allsteel buildins. He’s got an idea the skyscraper of the future’ll be built of steel and glass. We’ve been experimenting with vitrous tile recently... crist-amighty some of his plans would knock you out... He’s got a great sayin about some Roman emperor who found Rome of brick and left it of marble. Well he says he’s found New York of brick an that he’s goin to leave it of steel... steel an glass.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    The human mind plans the way, but the LORD directs the steps.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:9.
