According to Cruella de Villiers, responding to yet another train spotterish question from Maria the Eagle...
Given in a written answer given on the 24th May:
It is expected that 112 vehicles will be built (for Thameslink) during 2014-15 which will make 10 full train length equivalent diagrams.
That's clever, since Thameslink has 12 car trains and the last time I recited my Tables 10 twelves were 120.
Can it be long before Cruella ends up at the Treasury?
UPDATE: This from @Al_S (via Twitter)...
Might 112 carriages be 8x12-car trains plus 2x8-car?
Not all the TL stock will 12 car.
