 Brand new and out of the box, 707005 operates a test train through Totton station as the 13.94 Clapham to Bournmouth EMD (5Q80). They are due to enter service any day soon during July or August 2017. The crazy thing about these smart looking units is that they are actually surplus to requirement before their introduction! With the introduction of the class 701 Aventras in 2019 lower running costs will meant that these 707s will be looking for new work!
