The “Live departures & arrivals� pages on nationalrail.co.uk seem to be

“reduced service�, as far as I can see. Is it really happening?

Yes, the first Class 710 in passenger service left Gospel Oak at 11:36.

No doubt at some point once the memory of the issues have faded somewhat,
little squirt Khan will hail this as a great success and hope nobody asks
exactly how many tens of millions extra from the TfL budget have been spent
getting these white elephants to work instead of just ordering some more off
the shelf 378s which could have been running years ago.

The 378 EMUs must be more versatile than Bombardier ever claimed, to
be able to run on a non-electrified line. Or didn't you know that the
electrification was only completed a year ago?

And why do you assume that it's TfL's budget that is paying for
Bombardier's delays? Perhaps you could provide a reference for your
claim that, "tens of millions extra from the TfL budget have been
spent getting these white elephants to work"?
