Thanks Lordbusiness, tragic spreadsheet duly updated.
I could have sworn I saw 002 at Ilford the other day. It was at Ilford at the beginning of the year at one stage wasn't it?
017 came through Stratford on the 15th at about 1315 on a diagram from Wembley to Ilford, under it's own power.
It was this diagram:

345016 was certainly out and about on the 14th. Saw it approaching SNF about 1000 and later at LST.
Southend perhaps, via the flyunder?017 was out and about this morning as well. I was waiting for my train to Chelmsford around 0900 when 017 passed through platform 5 at Shenfield. I assumed it was going into the sidings, but when I passed through there on my train the sidings were empty. I know it didn't reverse back into Shenfield because I would have seen it. Anyone have any idea where it was heading?

That was my impression too, they feel like quality units. I can't wait to commute on the 720s.Just tried one from Stratford to Liv St. Very hard to fault for the job it will be doing, and superb build quality. I also like the subdued interior scheme.
The engineering works this weekend I believe is so that the great eastern is connected to the cr tunnel plus further station improvement works.I’m staying with family who live in Shenfield and we were taking about crossrail. I’ve read a lot about it and have kept up to date with all the news I can (more so than most local residents... I assume).
The TFL rail line between Brentwood and Shenfield was obviously closed for quite a long time. My relatives claim that the subsequent weekend / bank holiday closures have been because of “incorrect track... or something”.
Can anyone confirm that these subsequent works have just been crossrail related and are completely normal? Sounds like a NIMBY rumour that spreads round a small community.
Cheers

When I was at Liverpool Street yesterday afternoon (getting caught off guard by a triple 357) I noticed a 345 stuck in one of the lower numbered platforms (think it was 015).
Bit off seeing one stabled in the station, but I guess there was no-where else to keep them during the block?

On saturday there was one in what i thought was p8? There's no way of putting them anywhere as ilford is shut, gidea park is also shut. Those platforms aren't needed so its a good idea. Was weird tho as the only national rail trains at stratford was c2c.
The 1710 from Liverpool St to Gidea Park yesterday was a 345, but I'm pretty sure it was a 315 the day before. Is this a new diagram?
There my be a couple of extra 345s around from the end of this week though so diagrams may be changing.
