I meant 8 available so if one or two need maintenance there can still be 4 tph, as was the case before electrification started and in 2017-early 2018.
Isn't it technically 2 years with the delay to the electrification beforehand?4 electric trains per hour... only one year later than planned. Now when will we have 8 710s in use like we had 8 172s?
Bombardier Derby Works have been over flowing for a nearly a year but there isn't enough storage for the Crossrail units in London currently and they need to clear space at Derby for the new stock coming out of the works. Until Lo are ready to start taking delivery of the 710s for West Anglia they need to go somewhere.been mentioned on Twitter that as from next week some 710s are due to go to Worksop for storage along side the x3 MK4 sets and x5 345 units, any ideas why this is?
Four 710s and two 378s running today.
What's the timeline for this now? I.e. is there another 710 entering service every 2 weeks or something like that, or is it as simple as "as soon as there are enough trained staff"? If the latter is the case, how well is this progressing? It's good to see that we have more 710s in service but it will be better when there are enough to operate without 378s as well, so that they can be displaced back to their other lines.Four 710s and two 378s running today.
What does seem to happen most days is that a train will experience a 12 minute delay - often at a terminal. This seems to be related to a known software glitch whereby the train doors won't open and the driver has to change ends and "reset" the train.
717s have similar issues.. is this feature something laid down by the DfT or something?!
(Yesterday, a 717 was 25 minutes late due to doors not opening and requiring a number of full reboots [cut power, pans down...] before working. No need for the driver to change ends though).
9 car 345s also been needing regular reboots, ETCS computer related.717s have similar issues.. is this feature something laid down by the DfT or something?!

Any info on what the loadings are like on the Goblin now it's 4 car and 4 tph?
How would you tell from RTT? They've been timed for 710s since long before the units were introduced at all.I see from RTT that all Goblin services are now due to be operated by the 710.
Exactly they have been showing that for weeks and there haven't been special 710 head codes for over a month.How would you tell from RTT? They've been timed for 710s since long before the units were introduced at all.
There are now 4 tph alternate hours on the Euston-Watford locals, with RTT showing 4tph throughout from this coming Saturday. So evidently the released 378s are immediately reverting. Are they having their 5th cars reinstated I wonder? There is however no indication of the NLL's ghastly 12-14 minute peak gaps being filled, which is supposed to happen as 710s release 378s from the Watford.
They've been showing them as 710 even when they were still using 172s.Exactly they have been showing that for weeks and there haven't been special 710 head codes for over a month.
On the 378 thread it is meant to be 5x 710 and 1x 378 this week with 6x 710 next week

There were definitely 2 or 3 378s on the Goblin yesterday.
I noted just one 378 out on SundayPost in the other thread suggests it's down to 1x 378 on the GOBLIN this week, and none from next week.
