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?

No

I find that hard to believe.

Do you *really* not know what trains are being built for the line?


Unlike you I have a job to do and don't spend my life researching every

little
piece of obscure information about railways.

With your expert knowledge of LO, the Goblin, UK railfreight and electric
traction, you must be right. But the people actually putting up the money
thought differently. If only they had had access to some expert consulting
from you!


Ah yes, the people putting in the money. The ones who made sure specs were
being followed in the installation of the wiring. Would those be the guys?


You seem to have, even by your standards, a rather poor understanding of
the difference between putting up the money, and on-the-ground engineering.
I suppose, as always, ignorance is your defence.


Ah ok. So TfL shouldn't have bothered checking how things were progressing
or putting any men on the ground to double check the work? You should apply
for a job there, you'd be a shoe in.
