There will be new orders as part of the electrification plan, those units will be catenary-electric and run on the upgraded lines, freeing up diesel units for the rest of the network (though they will also get catenary-electric locomotives to push the existing cars). Not sure how big an order that is, and when it will be implemented.
But as mentioned above, Cambridge-Guelph would use unique units for that shuttle service (either DMUs or battery EMUs).
