The caption says that on the 9th of May the pictured train formed the 1917 "service" from "Willesden" (presumably Junction) to Fenchurch Street, and then the 2116 from Fenchurch Street to Barking, and then the 2150 from Barking to Willesden. What was all that about? I don't think it was a passenger service. It's probably to test a passenger-certified Aventra on the c2c route, as they have some on order. Test what? The timings don't seem to allow a trip via Shoeburyness. Presumably the route into Fenchurch St. Why test the route from Fenchurch Street to Barking but no further into Essex? The only wild shot I can think of is that they are worried the 710s on the surface will in some way interact with the 345s in the tunnel under Burdett Road. It could be for things like signal sighting? |
