  All 27 Class 387/2's will soon replace the Class 442's as Gatwick Express are having a upgrade and the Class 442's could be scrapped once the Class 387/2's are in service.

  I saw one on the West Coast Main Line happily speeding along. I assume it was using overhead power. So will they retain the pantographs for Gatwick? I suppose it could be sensible, as wouldn't a fleet of 387/2s be rather suitable for services to Manchester, Cardiff, East Midlands and Stansted Airports, when wires are everywhere. Put an IPEMU capability on the train and they could do Reading Gatwick, quicker than using Crossrail/Thameslink

  Are there any first class seating on these 387/2, & how many? Are they segregated too?
