I’m not sure all locos were converted but the program was stopped.
I thought the remaining locos were still active but not sure. Perhaps someone can confirm. If they are active they might not be available for this work?

A decision is to be made whether they are to scrapped. All battery conversion ones have been moved to allow three weeks of work in Ruislip

Canteen gossip or platform end wibble, interpret the following how you like, but chatter I heard after conversion there are electromagnetic compatibilty issues. Technically possible to sort out but at excessive £,£££,£££.s.d. |

It is rumour anyway, so no point me speculating further. |
