Originating from South Tottenham due to closure of the line beyond caused by a freight train derailment in January, the 13.22 to Gospel Oak arrives at Upper Holloway station. Mike, Andy and I travelled on 710268 the short distance to Gospel Oak giving me my first opportunity to sample one of these new Bombardier transportation constructed units introduced, after the customary delay, last year. They seemed functional, bright and airy complete with excellent display screens. One strange observation was that they had a small cluster of usb sockets somewhat randomly and inconveniently located on the bulkhead of the carriage ends.
