told in early July that the first of the new Victoria Line trains was
expected to run in passenger traffic on 21 July -- does anyone know if
it actually happened?

It did indeed - 23:55 Seven Sisters to Brixton.

I'm just putting together a photo post about it for LR at the moment
(with some extra video footage kindly provided by U Thant who was
there to witness it in person).
