Default S7 Stock to Barking

Witnessed a new S7 stock in service terminate in the bay platform at
Barking yesterday evening, approx 22:30, seems they are finally
accepted to run the entire H&C line as opposed to just the interim
Hammersith - Moorgate shuttle.

Lots of oohs and aahs from the station staff and fellow pax - a
District driver was very impressed and said he can't wait until he
gets his go on one.

Made me notice that once the D78s on the District are replaced
everything through Barking will be exclusivly of Bombardier erection;
c2c 357s, LO 172s and LU S stock.


Out to Barking is about the right length of trip for S7 stock.
Although I thought there were plans afoot to replace the H&C with an
Uxbridge to Barking Metropolitan Line service.
