(a) Allocation into types of 1,000 ordered. - Mr.Gould stated
that, as a result of a revision of the number of 63'6" suburban vehicles
required for the St.Pancras scheme, a re-investigation was being made into the
allocation of the 1,000 vehicles and a submission will be made shortly.
Noted that it is now anticipated 180 63'6" vehicles will be required for the St.Pancras scheme in order to give a greater coverage to the Midland suburban
services and the investigation is proceeding. The design of the
63'6" unit for this scheme has now been agreed between the departments
concerned and drawings prepared and it was agreed that when the number of
units required is finally settled, the drawings be submitted and an order
for the building of the vehicles be placed with the B.T.C. pending the
submission of the complete report.
