Morning everyone,
I'm trying to find some details on particular passenger workings around London so thought this was a good place to start. In a couple of weeks I'm having a very rare trip down to London for 4 days, I've only been down once in the last 6 years so there's plenty of new(ish) plastic units for me to see amongst the freight spots I have planned. I apologise if these questions appear very basic but if you don't get down to London very often it's all very new and I don't want to waste time going to places of little interest. If anybody could answer any of the following I'd really appreciate it.
* What routes do the 377/5s & 377/6s work now? I thought I might have seen some at London Bridge when I passed through in April but there didn't appear to be any about.
* Are there any routes other than in/out of Liverpool St for the 379s? I spent a few hours in the evening peak at Bethnal Green but saw less than half of them.
* I understand that the Gospel Oak-Barking line is closed for electrification work until 20th October even though The Trainline is showing the line open as usual for passenger services. I'm after 172008 so would anybody know where it is likely to be, or if it's parked up in a depot somewhere, is it visible?
* Can you get onto the platform at Stratford International with an All Zone Travelcard to see the 395s? St Pancras doesn't appear to be accessible unless you have a full ticket to travel so you can't get the 2nd unit when there are 2 in each platform.
* With the 5 timetabled Chiltern class 68 loco hauls leaving Marylebone in the evening peak, is there a 6th loco parked up at Wembley as a spare?
If anybody could shed any light on the above it would be a great help
