Now that the Class 378s have fully displaced the 313s and 508s on the
Overground, been mostly lengthened to 4 cars and have been running for
nearly two years, have they produced the expected increases in
patronage, ridership numbers and revenue? I am especially interested
to know if the horrific ridership conditions on the core NLL section
between Willesden and Stratford have been eliminated or mitigated by
all of the new standing room space on the 378s, given the initial
complaints about the lack of seats.

A completely new timetable started last week, with 6 tph between Willesden
Jn and Stratford all day, with 8 tph in the peaks. That has seriously
changed the capacity of the line again, although it's very early days. So
most opinions about 'horrific ridership conditions' are probably stale now
anyway...
