But did that come from the source that assured us the Watford Tunnel units were write-offs?

Class 172002 has been transferred to WMT.
I am not sure if this has been mentioned befored.

IIRC it transferred to WMT a few months ago

Correct. It was the spare train for the Gospel Oak to Barking line and if one fails now there is no back up.

Has 172002 been in service yet?
RE: West Midlands Trains - WMR & LNR - knutstransport - 16/10/2018 09:38
172002 and the other LO 172s are supposed to get toilets fitted before they enter service with WMT.

The class 172/0 (172001-172008) will be used on the Coventry–Nuneaton line. Since service only needs ONE diagram, I assume that the other remaining 7 will be used somewhere else.

Class 350/2 could be converted to bi-mode.

Coventry-Nuneaton is supposed to go half-hourly, with one going through to Leamington despite NR previously insisting that hell would freeze over before that would be possible.

The delivery of class 230 on the Marston Vale line will be delayed.
