Are the timings in the above two post confined to be 710 timings to start from tomorrow?

Finally some progress on the WA lines with 710 Training and rollout.

Finally :wub::wub::wub:

Last time I heard there should be 4 trains running on DC line (ah through 3 for definite) As for the west Anglia lines, I seen someone mentioned earlier of train times for testing but not 100% sure.

Not that I care much about the seat and comfort of any train, but have there been anymore reported runs on the Watford dc line and any news on the testing of coupling of sets for the west Anglia lines?

Have there been any updates to the Business case for the West London Orbital? And will it be most likely it'll turn into a london over ground route?

Scrap this waste of money of a project and inject the rest of the money into more electrification for deferred projects and crossrail

One thing to keep in mind is if there will be any issues when coupling 8 car or more Aventra sets for SWR's sake on the DC scale of things. But once again I have full confidence quite a bit of progress has been made when it come to software updates of most functions. Only thing I remain...

Been hearing talk about it starting next on the DC line. Mostly to iron out the Aventra’s bugs relating to DC traction. As for West Anglia, that will deffo be later as they also spend time iron out coupling issues (which personally I think shouldn’t take that long. Always had this feeling...

Now that we have a full 6 train service enforced, will the two extra "peak buster" services also be added in the form of two more 710s, or will they just stick with 6 train in ciculation while starting to replace the 378s to be reconfigered back into 5 car formation?

Finally I’m on it!!!! Pics are attached and yes totally quality ride, information systems all good, usb sockets, aircon, and WiFi too Absolutely wonderfully, could be on the Watford and lea valley routes well soon

OMG finally these things are starting...sooo excited....gonna catch the 18:05 tomorow right after work from Gospel Oak. Expect plenty of pics soon

Seems like a 710265 made a trip to Frenchurch St last night. https://twitter.com/cmpd_date/status/1126585552969584642

They will do tasty work on the Goblin

No idea, but i’m keen to know of any new news, been quiet lately

Did any updates came about recently? Last I heard was driver familiarization training taking place while instructor training is currently taking place but still the train suffers from some bugs but have been running on the GOBLIN and WCML alot in resent times. But then again nothing concrete?

Had my first ride yesterday and took the 17:25 (late coming in by 15 mind) to Gordon Hill from Moor gate. Was jam packed with passengers and mostly traveled slow but indeed a very smooth ride and yes bumpy but still a better ride quality then the 313 fossils. The return journey had to be via...

Looking forward to seeing these start service on the 11/3/19. Will this be a full stock roll out or a semi or just a few more active preview runs?

Why do I always get the feeling this unit is not meant to be in service anymore? lol

Think we can only be a bit more patient from this point on wards as the 710s seem to finally have a functioning software (fingers cross) and they can build up enough mileage without another breakdown. As for the 172s departing before the 710s start that was pretty obvious from the start the way...
