Need guards. Explained why they can’t be used about a gazillion times up thread already.quicker and easier to dump a few surplus 313 or ,315s on the job from HE or IL ...the TFL boys should be savvy with em....rather than mess around breaking and shortening units until the specified "new kit" arrives...the beauty of 313 also, it will break in the new string, load bank test it etc...
Passengers on London Overground's Gospel Oak to Barking line will see a mixed fleet of trains operating from Monday 28 January, as an interim measure until the delayed new electric 'Class 710' trains are delivered by the manufacturer, Bombardier Transportation, are ready for passenger service.

Next Sunday specifically? 1010 off Gospel Oak etc.Would there be anyone who could post the Sunday diagrams for me please, I'm in London Sunday before I catch the beds north and I'm trying to cover the line for EMU's
Yes please if possibleNext Sunday specifically? 1010 off Gospel Oak etc.
Well, it would appear TfL have pulled off a successful failure. Actually hats off to them for making the best out of a ****ty situation!
Not sure why they left the other one at Rugby!
And Saturday is reported as 0648 off Barking etcNext Sunday specifically? 1010 off Gospel Oak etc.
Anyone know which 172 got taken off lease yesterday?
Interestingly 172006 had moved from the terminal platforms at Rugby between heading north to Wilmslow around 1130, and returning past at about 1700 yesterday.
@HLE is correct. ran as 5Q66 reversing at Coventry and Leamington Spa.Think you are looking at the wrong diagram, it moved to Tyseley via Coventry and Leamington about midday yesterday
I thought that bit was achieved on the date always planned, although using 7 car not 9? The problem on the GW is that they should be running to Heathrow as well...It seems they're getting quite good at it, with 345s to Hayes & Harlington too!

Perhaps they should have ordered more 378sWell, it would appear TfL have pulled off a successful failure. Actually hats off to them for making the best out of a ****ty situation!
Perhaps they should have ordered more 378s
They had enough to do the routes prior to the GOBLIN electrification. By the time they needed more electric stock, Bombardier had ceased production of Electrostars.Perhaps they should have ordered more 378s
Sounds like the 378 on the GOBLIN has been successful
Any news on further units heading there?
