There's a cab-view video of a test run on the ELl

entertaining at the end where it seems to be herding track workers
along the line.
Oh and by the way, they're announcing that the line is open, Monday
to Friday.


In the video I do not see the inside car line diagrams that
underground cars have. Will these not be a feature of the "London
Overground"? I always found them very useful.



If you are looking at the 54 second video that is there today, (rather than
the original video from last years testing), the line diagrams are there,
but above the doors, they just don't come out too clearly - stop the vid at
about 6 secs, it is just visible behind the far orange grab rail.

Of course as it shows the whole LO network it has a bit more height than an
ordinary 'strip' like most underground trains except the 'Circle etc'
shown in the C stock.
