I travelled on a 710 today from Leyton Midland Road to Gospel
Oak. I wasn't expecting it and I wasn't paying attention as the
train entered the station. It was only when I opened the doors
that I realised this was a different train from normal. (The doors
open differently)

The 710s are slightly better than the 378s. They run more quietly -
perhaps because they're new? - and the information screen is
better. Sadly, the seats conform to the current fashion and are
hard and unpleasant.

At Gospel Oak the train aroused some interest. Several people came
to look closely, particularly at the front.

Did they quickly turn away and try and forget the horrible visage they saw?
Christ they're ugly, look like orange and white ducks.
