Why and how would the Class 92 locomotives have to be "configured
for HS1"? They do support TVM and KVB, don't they?


The 92s do not have KVB, unless some of those acquired by Europorte have
been so fitted


SNCF allegedly found it prohibitivbely expensive and there were space
considerations to KVB fit 92s.

An alternative to SNCF engineering might be cheaper and make it fit -
but so far I've not heard of any plans to do this.
