Am there right now. The last train to leave was a "Connex" service to
Watford Junction according to the automated tannoy. The Connex
Electrostars also haven't been programmed with the station location
yet, so it takes three minutes to open the doors.

Does any of this explain why I saw a 378 at Clapham Junction today, or
is that normal now? I thought they were only doing a few NLL diagrams.

There have been services into Clapham Junction since the first day of
service. There are joint NLL & WLL diagrams, to allow for the peak
Stratford - Clapham through services. It is the DC lines that hadn't seen a
378 in service, until the end of last week anyway...

Yes, I guess it would be difficult to avoid given the joint diagrams.
I didn't know if the through workings required joint diagrams or were
still self-contained.

Yes, got quite a shock on my way north from H&W last week when that
shot past in the dark around Hatch End!

My train stopped there this morning. I was surprised how many people
were using the station. I was not at all surprised at the blast of
cool air into the train when they opened the doors. Not looking forward
to the winter!

They would obviously turn off the air-conditioning.
