Earlier this year Agility Trains (Hitachi et al) announced that the

(part of site only), Reading and Bristol Parkway. These are in
addition to several upgraded existing facilities (undisclosed). Of
course this predated the GWML electrification announcement, so it
could all change

And of course no IEP has actually been ordered yet has it ???

Agility/Htchi is merely the prefered bidder.

And the traffic flows for IEPs are different than for commuter/outer
suburban services; so having facilities close to the London termini will be
useful for first turn down trains, and late returning up trains.
