Any ideas about how long it will be before the first four car trains
start?


Took a spin round the line yesterday, couldn't see a lot left to do at
many
platform lengthening worksites...


In another place - not District Dave - 14th September has been quoted. 2
4-car sets are planned to be in service.


Does that mean unit 225 will leave the ELL?


There are more 4 car units due for return from Derby before the due date,
211 and 216 I believe, and a few pf the /2s built as four car still to be
introduced are stored at Ashford. AFAICT the normal diagramming requires at
least one or two 378/2s on the ELL, I don't think 225 is especially
siginifcant.
