Not many now out of 26 units, definitely 196114, not sure about 113, all 2 car 196s have been in service.
I don't think I've seen 011 reported in service but I may be wrong... fairly sure of the 3 cars still got 111-114 to start.

Edit: sorry missed 011 starting on prev page!

Post 80 suggests it didn’t actually run.
Seems to be 4/5 out daily whereas got up to at least 12 according to the excellent PPS.

More of a re-introduction than a fresh one; 720 128 is back in traffic.

I'm currently sitting on it.

Wear pattern on some seats suggests it did enter traffic previously before going back to Wembley recently for additional testing, which answers that question.
