Sorry but this time you are incorrect. The original post referred to a
leasing arrangement for the class 378 *electric* stock and not the
diesel order.

Ah, so, when those are different ... thanks for the clarification.

Cheers,

May I point you to the Underground map, which now features the TfL run
"London Overground" rail services on it - they are the lines with an
orange outline...

The class 172 trains will work the Gospel Oak to Barking line (north
east London)- the so-called "GOBLIN", though that's definitely an
unofficial name!

The only other diesel trains that provide an element of local service
in London are really just longer distance trains, and run out of
Marylebone and Paddington.


There are also London Bridge - East Croydon [- Uckfield] class 171s, and
some Clapham Junction - Waterloo trains are diesels (though the other
way they are pick-up only?).

Plus East Croydon - Olympia on CrossCountry.
