There are two separate fleets, one (DC only) for the ELL, and another

only to include line diagrams for the lines the trains will run on.
Similarly D stock don't include the Circle/H&C on their line
diagrams, and C stock include Wimbledon - Edgware Road, but not teh
rest of the District.

Cannot ELL trains be fitted with a pantograph? I'm sure that many will
have noticed that they have pantograph coaches.

Yes, all recent EMU builds have included pantograph recesses whatever their
initial use, typified by SWT's entire Desiro fleet, and all the SN 377s -
there is presumably some thought gone into this... The former units have
their cab control switches for the pantograph and presumably a certain
amount of associated wiring...

IIRC the last order of additional 378s (ie the 3 units to support the SLL
extension) will be dual voltage, presumably for additional operating
flexibility...
