That being said, the current trains on the Corridor aren't even hitting their maximum speeds yet, and the focus should be first on creating dedicated trackage so that the current rolling stock Via has can actually hit its 99MPH speed limit.
Agree - also the current LRC rolling stock is now 30 years old. Its recent (ill-fated) overhaul did not address life extension issues. New rolling stock is needed.
I have been pretty impressed with the DMU's I have seen in the UK and Europe. No reason it can't be used here.
