Best place for them, not worked as hard on City than they are on Country so they break down a lot less

No chance of any big investment happening on 685 from either operator, 685 isn't really a profitable route so there's nothing there to justify the investment. Hardly surprising really when the train is an hour quicker (but more expensive) and the train also serves Metrocentre. I can personally only see a change when it is forced by DDA or some suitable vehicles can be transferred in from elsewhere.
