Caught sight of both units between Wimbledon and Raynes Park this afternoon, on the up slow line and apparently moving at a normal speed. I think it's this one: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Q03733/2013/11/28/advanced So it would appear whatever communication problem they were having...

Rode the District Line to Wimbledon this afternoon and saw both units out in the yard, coupled together and creeping along. A number of engineers were walking alongside, paying close attention to the join between them. So maybe progress is being made? (Or maybe one unit was dragging the other!)

First one is out running again this afternoon - just ran past my house! Doesn't look all that ugly to me, no worse than the rest of them, anyway.
