I was waiting to catch my LO train from Gospel Oak on Friday (the 07.07 to Stratford), when at 07.08, 66250 came down the line and headed off along the GOBLIN, making the 07.07 arrive at 07.14 instead. Anyway, I caught my train, and changed at Stratford for a NX train, when what should come...

More photos of 172001 here. And interior shots here and here.

Anyone know what's happening with 001 and 004, and if/when they'll enter passenger service?

Anyone know when 001 and 004 will finally come into passenger service on the NLL so there are less 313s in use?
