There's been a massive flurry of Tweets from Thameslink about their new
trains today. Still not completely clear whether or not there are
(m)any in passenger service though. Did a trip from Blackfriars to
SPILL to see if any were in evidence, but none were.

They had a scheduled launch event today at Blackfriars.

Launch of what, though? Running some of the trains in service from
now onwards; just running one today in service; or not actually
running any at all in service yet?

Press preview

Saw 700109 running ECS northbound at SPILL earlier today,

18 minutes late, so starting how they mean to continue

and there's another 700 rake at Hornsey.
