I know they didn't use to and 378s are going to be replaced soon anyway, by the Adventra but would be interested to know

Are Class 378/1's able to work Euston-Watford?

They would need to be fitted with tripcocks first.

That's a no then, thanks
The whole of the Euston - Watford DC route is err DC so with tripcocks fitted as stated they could! I'm not sure they would be able to access Willesden depot on DC though!
Why couldn't they access Willesden tmd.

It’s an AC depot. The DC only stretches to the arrival road from low level so would need the depot pilot. But as no planned maintenance of 378s is done there wouldn’t be an issue if they could be sent over to ELL as the planned 10-car moves dragged by an DV set from Euston.

Back in the day, the 508s had to be dragged into the depot by a 313 as a result.

Only one 378/1 has ever worked on the dc route from Willesden depot to Watford, and it was 378151 on de-icing duties early on in the project. Double manned to over come the requirement for tripcocks
