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.

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.


Except for the Paddington-Greenford service. *I think that it and GOBLIN
are the only two diesel services that operate entirely within Greater
London.

Also, the 2035, 2135 and 2300 Southern services from London Bridge
which terminate at East Croydon and are formed of 171s off the
Uckfield line before they go back to Selhurst Depot.
