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.


They're the same as the LM ones apart from the bogs, aren't they?
They are certainly 2+2 seated. Side-facing seating is not used,
because it would limit the possibility of re-lease after they are
finished with.


I think all the LM ones have corridor front ends, I think the only 17x DMUs
to have them. Apart from agreeing about the loos, I can't comment on the
interior layouts, not having been on one.


Here's a couple of Goblin 172 interior pics:
