By internal shuffle to provide for increased services on the other original LO routes, ie the ELL/WLL. It’s explained in an earlier post, I’ll find a link:Where are the Watford line 378s going

They ultimately end up with 8 extra dual voltage units on the ELL.
One of the key points is that the ELL units need the cab escape door, so that’s why 6 new 5 car 710 units are being provided to the WLL/NLL, rather than building 6 new units to go directly to the ELL. IYSWIM...
