Thankyou very much. All makes sense, boringly simple. Can we not have a more exciting reason

A bit confused by this comment - translator equipment is found either within the locomotive(s) or a barrier vehicle.
If a move is being top and tailed with a slow speed limit that would dictate thru piped loco to loco with the unit being unbraked so translation isn't required.
The original units were without translators - and is more an operational issue rather than unit from my understanding.
The 710 deliveries that I have seen have not included any barrier vehicles so any translator equipment would have to be in the locos if used. I am assuming it would be unlikely that the translator equipment was in the unit ?.
That seems to be what happens.
I can guess the use of translators costs money so the alternative is a slower journey ?.
Ah I see. So no use looking to earlier movements and trying to interpret current practice as unique to the movement in question ?.
Anyone know where 375 is today. TIA
I think that most people looking for 375 would start by riding past Willesden Depot on the DC lines to see if it is in the usual siding at the back of the depot.
And then - if 710375 has finally ventured into service the Euston to Watford Junction DC line service is the most likely. So ideal is to go to Willesden Junction from Euston on the DC (passing the depot). Then waiting for it at Willesden Junction as you also have half a chance of spotting it on the High Level - that is where one day all the 710/3s will belong but currently they (almost only) do most of the Euston-Watford service.
Still there all lights on Thanks
Even worse when Tottenham are at home.
They have made changes to match days and they run 4tph from Enfield Town and then fast from Seven Sisters to Liverpool Street. All match day trains are 8 car services
+1
Generally yes and these are very welcome - but tomorrow, we've got NFL at Spurs and football at the Emirates (as TfL have emailed, and posters up at all LO stations). The trains are adjusted timings slightly to allow for increased dwell at White Hart Lane but no additional services. TfL posters are saying that LO services to/from White Hart Lane and Seven Sisters will be very busy. On a personal level it's a big shame that there's no extras tomorrow as I need to travel three times tomorrow and there's no way I will be able to avoid these crowds! I will probably use Liverpool Street to interchange.
Thanks for the info. Just to clarify that means no more 710s outside London and all the rest are/have-been in service ?.
Thankyou.
That is 701s but 710s which this post is about.
A 4 car 710 on that part of the overground. That is interesting. I wonder why that was out
Looks like there was an earlier unit fault, so presumably that was the only unit available to replace it.
Fair enough
