Default Planned upgrade for rail routes (aka Outer Circle Line, London)

In a separate announcement, the Bombardier company said it had been
awarded a UKP223m contract with Transport for London to provide new
electric trains on the East London Line and the North London Railway.

The 100mph Electrostars will be introduced by May 2009.

So they're getting 24 3-car Electrostars for the North London Railway,
replacing 23 3-car 313s and 3 3-car 508s? That's not much of a capacity
upgrade - some might even call it the opposite.
