Believe it's currently something like:
Seven Sisters 2202
Brixton 2228 - 2236
Walthamstow 2309 - 2315
Brixton 2339 - 2345
(not sure if it goes through to WC on this journey or terminates at SS)
Runs as train 235

That's good - there don't seem to have been any significant problems since testing started.

I think train 1 is still for non-passenger testing though - missing seats and other bits. I'm sure it was stated that it (and possibly train 2) were to go back to Derby for refitting to production spec when more stock arrived.

If you meant passenger service, then that was train 2. Train 1 is not complete, as Brian A60K said, and is currently planned to be the last train to enter service once it has been modified to production standards.

Thanks for this Sashy.
It's now 18.51 when writing this; I've just legged it out of my flat to catch it at Pimlico on its way up to Seven Sisters on its final Sunday run, got to the cold air outside and realised that the whole line is off today

Oops! I'll try and catch it this week - cheers

Severe Delays are occurring to my thought patterns due to overworking and long hours!

Thanks for that sashy - any indication yet when it will be unleashed on rush-hour commuters?

And on a related point, is there any likely arrival date for train 3 and series production deliveries?

Train 3 is due in December, then all being well you should start seeing 1 train a month arriving (at the moment the delivery is approx every 6 weeks) so it will be "catch up" time. incidently both trains ran in the evening yesterday (sun) reversing at w/st, both looked good, & the take off is very quick (must have been on "turbo")

Turbo eh? Sweet.
I think I may hitch my first ride tomorrow evening sometime.
Hopefully it isn't a glorified 92ts although being the same company...it's a possibility!
My phone has a nice 720x480 video camera so I'll be sure to catch some ride time and slap it on YouTube.

It would be great if you could

At the moment YouTube only has one video of it on a passenger journey....

I just watched both of your videos of the 67ts and the 09ts and it would seem that the 09ts accelerates a fair bit harder.

I might head off a bit earlier tomorrow to catch a 67ts first, haven't been on one for over a year now. I used to love travelling on this stock as a child in the early 90's with my mum when we used to go up to Chinatown for some dim sums.

As for videos I'll see about recording three of them, entering the station (whilst on the platform), leaving the station (whilst in the train) and leaving the station (whilst on the platform), same comparisons with a 67ts.

Not a fan of buses so I think I'll be lazy and see if I can catch it somewhere down the city.
