Regarding the Overground, you should experience the peculiar DMU on
the GOBLIN before it dissapears.

There's nothing peculiar about the Goblin trains. There are quite a
few other diesel trains in London: in particular, the Uckfield trains
to and from London Bridge, which are not going to be got rid of any
time soon, are very similar to the Goblin trains, although I think
they (Class 171) probably have toilets and the Goblin ones (Class
170) probably don't.

Goblin trains are class 172 not 170. There are other class 172s in service,
with Chiltern and London Midland but those on London Overground have a
unique layout.
