With the delay to the Class 710 trains, Transport for London are proposing to use three 4 car electric Class 378 trains on the Gospel Oak-Barking Line as these are longer and cleaner. However, I remain concerned that once the last diesel train has gone, there will only be these trains to run a half-hourly service. Do you believe this is acceptable?
