Focus on the Electrostar: Class 378/2

[@kitdank8648]

My favourite train of all time these are so good looking and sometimes I’ll go out my way to take an individual train to Watford junction just to ride one of these the rest of the way to Euston

9:47: 378256 is not arriving from Stratford. That's on the East London Line platforms. The lift is not positioned there on the Eastbound platform to Stratford. It's also 3rd rail so not North London Line.

Oops.

[@angus504]

@@BoogiesTrains 😂😉 it's an easy mistake to make.

[@BoogiesTrains]

Very kind. I knocked the video together from existing material during lockdown, primarily for something to do but also to keep engaging with my regular audience. I don't think any of us were at the top of our game at the time. I hope you find more of my videos of interest.

The 378s don't have transverse seating; it's longitudinal.

[@BoogiesTrains]

I've made that mistake before! 😂

@@BoogiesTrains Yes, you have. 😁

nice vid :) 1:20 what station is that?

[@BoogiesTrains]

That is South Kenton. A great location. Also a footbridge five minutes walk north of the station.

Is the Class 378/2s still operating the Euston-Watford DC Line with the Class 710/2 already in service. Plus Class 710/3 should be in service that will operate on the North London Line and West London Line and some of the Class 378/2s to be transferred to operate on the East London Line. Wish that Bombardier could of built these for the Lea Valley Lines and Romford-Upminster line as 4-Car units.

[@BoogiesTrains]

I have no idea. I haven't been north of the river since November. If I remember correctly, the 4 tph service on the DC lines requires one more set than the planned ,4 car 710 fleet so there will normally be a 378 on duty.

[@realkasumi5443]

The 378/2s are still running on the Watford DC line, I went on one a few months back. They are being used alongside the 710s that are also being used on that route.
