  Maybe they'll still buy back another 12 C751A. Or if they buy new one, they still have to configure to suit the overhead cantary.
  
  Who knows and perhaps they'll buy C751C ?

  Impossible.
  LTA addresses Projects in ascending order from past-present.
  SO the C. number will increase.Such a pattern is our rolling stock.notice that their contract number rises with time.
