Default Thameslink NGEMU procurement - now in motion

The ECML (Phase 2) option is currently set at 55 vehicles. While I am
not au fait with the frequencies of the various FCC GN routes I think 55
vehicles would only cover the King's Lynn (via Cambridge) fasts and not
the Cambridge semi-fasts etc.

There's only one Kings Lynn fast per hour, and currently it splits at
Cambridge so that only 4 cars go further north (partly problems with
power supply, as well as customer demand).
