And 378s won't be used on GOBLIN either.
Are they planning on buying a whole new set of EMUs just for the goblin then?
I find that hard to believe.
TfL are buying 45 four-car 710s for use on the West Anglia Routes and
the Watford DC, GOBLIN and Romford to Upminster lines
I should have guessed. Another pointless new EMU design costing extra when
there's already perfectly servicable one in the 378. I guess shiny new toys
are more important than saving money and having interoperability with
existing equipment when its someone elses money you're spending.
By that impeccable logic, they should have ordered some new-build 313s, not
shiny new 378s.
