As you well know, you can't just run a train on a line without fully testing
and certifying it first. Are they planning on doing that with the 710s on
the NLL?

So go back to the old system of carriages being C1 or C3 and locos have
an RA and have common clearance/weight restriction classes so that any
train MU or LHCS in a class can operate on any line (subject to electric
supply for electric stock) of equal or lesser restriction.
