A Tale Of Two Trains
This morning, I rode between Essex Toad and Moorgate stations in a very graffitied Class 313 trains. Apparently, there are only a few of the new Class 717 trains in service.
It also appears that there are only two new Class 710 trains running on the Gospel Oak To Barking Line.
Surely, now software and signalling issues have been sorted on these trains, a few more should have entered service.
Or is it problems of mileage accumulation or a lack of trained drivers?

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

It’s getting there! I wonder what the Off Peak frequency between Moorgate and Alexandra Palace will be in a couple of years!
This post gives my thoughts.
I reckon that between 16-20 trains will eventually be able to run into Moorgate, with upgrades like digital signalling and a degree of Automatic Train Control.
After all if the East London Line could do 16 tph, why can’t the Northern City Line?
