📣 Today saw the very first, brand new #Class717 run on a special preview/testing service from Moorgate to Gordon Hill. We’re working hard to get these trains, stations and our people ready for introduction this autumn. These will replace 40 year old trains on the Moorgate line.

The 14th Class 717 entered all-day passenger service on routes to Moorgate today. The new fleet roll-out is now two-thirds complete and we’ll be retiring the Class 313 from the route very soon.
