710270 was on the Euston-Watford diagrams today.No sign of 710374 at Willesden.
710270 should be on Euston-Watford again tomorrow as well since it ends at Watford Junction tonight.710270 was on the Euston-Watford diagrams today.

Two places.Crickey. Thats a 5 car 710 that would not be expected to stray off the North London line (but currently dominating the Watford-Euston line). It is supposed to release 378s to the East London line not go there itself !. I suppose London Bridge could be an alternative destination for Crystal Palace or West Croydon if the ELR core is stuffed ?.
Now where was that rumour I saw about extra TfL ELR services not necessarily going through the tunnel to Dalston Junction and beyond.
There’s a Southern 455 in the background which suggests it may be an old image.Didn't know the 710 got round this neck of the woods?View attachment 153716
Which is all the more surprising for me as I never knew it came that far even for mile accumulation and it must have passed a few LO stations like New Cross Gate, Brockley etc.There’s a Southern 455 in the background which suggests it may be an old image.
I think there was a requirement to some high speed testing on DC power (higher than you can do on the Watford line anyway).Which is all the more surprising for me as I never knew it came that far even for mile accumulation and it must have passed a few LO stations like New Cross Gate, Brockley etc.
Ah, that could explain it then.I think there was a requirement to some high speed testing on DC power (higher than you can do on the Watford line anyway).
There was discussion about a 710 based at Gatwick for a few days for tests up and down the Brighton line, it was covered in this thread back in late May 2021, around page #85.Ah, that could explain it then.
I actually remember that one now, was one of the first youtube videos I saw of it outside of its mainstay.There was discussion about a 710 based at Gatwick for a few days for tests up and down the Brighton line, it was covered in this thread back in late May 2021, around page #85.
I think it is indeed the last one. Give it a couple more months maximum, based on previous units.Is there any sign of activity with 710 374 yet?
It seems to be the only one not yet in service...
Thank you; thought that might be the case.I think it is indeed the last one. Give it a couple more months maximum, based on previous units.
No idea re 270 unfortunately. Gospel Oak a good bet. I tended to hang around Willesden Junction until the Wat-Eus repeats (couple of hours), get what I could off the depot than go to Gospel Oak. Its mainly 710/3s on Wat-Eus mind.Thank you; thought that might be the case.
Is 710 270 still on the Goblin at the moment?

Yes... it spent the night at East Ham, today on the GOBs and I've just dropped it off at Willesden.Thank you; thought that might be the case.

Seems to spend most of its time in the shed at Willesden atm.Is there any sign of activity with 710 374 yet?

Thank you, I caught up with it just in time to vanish to do my shopping.Yes... it spent the night at East Ham, today on the GOBs and I've just dropped it off at Willesden.
270 + 374 were both sat outside Willesden yesterday afternoon.I'm guessing that as nobody reported 710 374 out yesterday, it won't be today as it's unlikely they'll introduce something on a bank holiday. Which would imply no earlier than Tuesday now?
As for 710 270 - try the Goblin; it seems to have spent most of its time so far on that one.
Thank you.270 + 374 were both sat outside Willesden yesterday afternoon.
Thank you. I am down in London tomorrow so will start looking there.270 + 374 were both sat outside Willesden yesterday afternoon.

Don’t know if you are aware but there’s only Euston to Watford DC lines running.
No LNWR or Avanti due to track renewals between Euston and Watford.
All gone very quiet......710374 should be in service from the 28th/29th march
It was out yesterday until it unceremoniously jacked and was sent back to depotAll gone very quiet......
