I've always wondered about this too - it seems like a good fill-in
scheme that would be rather inexpensive. It would have the dual
benefit of releasing 150s from GoBLin duties and allowing through
services as listed from Barking, providing an alternate route for c2c
users who take the first train and change at West Ham for central
London destinations.

You might not even have to immunise the LU signalling either, which
can only help save money.

The snag is shortage of 313 units, isn't it? They are using some 508s on
Euston-Watford because of it.
