London tomorrow - trains to play on?

[Bayum]

I’m down in London tomorrow for the marathon on Sunday. Thinking about playing about on the network tomorrow. Planning on:
Northern line extension,
710/720 with LO and GA.

Any other ideas? I’ve never done a 450 or service out of Waterloo and wouldn’t mind a quick jaunt. I’d like to try a 745 but not sure if I could get on one within the cheap fare zones.

450s are the same as 350s but a different colour so nothing particularly unique (though they are very nice trains)

Half hourly from Liverpool Street to Tottenham Hale - 6 miles in about 12 minutes. Definitely worth trying out - only zone 3 - better than doing them in from Stratford.

I’ve never travelled on a 350 either!

Ah, fair enough then!

Especially tomorrow as there is engineering work so no Norwich service, just a 15 minute service between Liverpool St and Chelmsford. Should be OK to pick up a 720 easily enough though.

Do 720s ever cover Tottenham Hale?

Do 720s ever cover Tottenham Hale?

Yes, they have recently been introduced on a limited number of services on that route.

Sit around and wait or do we have good gen on here?

Look for five car trains here:
Liverpool Street https://tiger.worldline.global/LIVST/ciss;graphic=1

Hertford East and Cambridge North cycles are both self-contained so a 5-coach train leaving Liverpool Street will be the same on the preceding inward service.

Lovely. Thanks for your help!
