    Class 710 LO

    Yes it will get 710s. It is complicated as we currently hire in MTR drivers. Our drivers based at Stratford *should* be taking over from December but require route learning both of the branch and to Ilford depot. They already sign 710s though. MTR drivers might have to sign 710s to cover later...

    Class 710 LO

    710103 and 105 of the WA allocation are accepted for service and have been technically covering for 710256 and 259 on the Barking line, which are the last two of the original batch of 710/2s (256 - 269) that have not been in service. This gives the nominal 14 to cover 12 diagrams (6 GOB/6 DC)...

    Class 710 LO

    Yes. The 10 TPH takes 4 378s from the former Watford DC allocation whilst the 2 extra circuits for 4 TPH on the Watford DC take the other 2. Therefore the number of 378s required for the NLL/WLL and DC remains the same as the previous service when it was 8 TPH on the NLL/WLL and 3 TPH on the...
