So, 710374 is the last one not to have entered service yet?

That is correct - all the others are in service.
It was in service when it failed...

Yes. Seems its first actual working was the inbound Stratford-Richmond.

I wonder if 374 will be out today or will it be on the depot naughty step.

If it's out, I guess it'll be on the Watfords to keep it close to Willesden in case it throws another wobbly...?

Any update on 710374, or is it yet again suffering from more errors?

710 374 is reported elsewhere as being on Watfords again today if anyone is after it...

Saturday 13th: 710 374 is on Watfords again; 09.45 etc off Euston.

Just seen 710378 at Richmond with 2N53, is this a booked diagram now or just something that's happened?

Interesting, thanks!

Bear in mind that there are several Richmonds that are supposed to be 710 (2N51 is another) but any can be subbed out for a 378. If there’s a shortage of 710s, the NLL is the first to go.
I rode on two different 710s yesterday. Both had interior damage - one missing a wrap around stainless steel plate at the base of a door pillar and the other a smaller missing stainless steel plate at ground level at the carriage end. From the look of the exposed area behind these plates it looks as they are just glued on so I suspect other 710s (and similar stock - I saw a loose steel panel on on a 345 door pillar recently) will be missing these soon!

Can anyone advise me as to which line 374 is working today (24/4) if it's out?
Thanks in advance for any help

I would ask that on the Urgent TOPS Request thread as more chance of someone in the know seeing your request.
Here is the thread. There is a non urgent TOPS thread as well.
But probably worth noting the answer here !.
