Class 378, replace 315?!

Can someone tell me how the class 376 trains for London Overground will be replacing 315 units also where was the 378 class definition obtained? Tubechallenger 21:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

The Class 315 trains work out of Liverpool Street on East Anglia services to Chingford, Enfield Town, Gidea Park, Hertford East and Shenfield, as well as the Romford - Upminster branch line. The Class 378 trains will replace the Class 313 trains, on like for like basis.

Dellner Coupling

Can these trains now couple with the 375's? The SE 375's were converted to Dellner couplers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alteran Ancient (talk • contribs) 11:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Most Common ?

I dispute the line 'All Class 376 trains are allocated to Slade Green and are most seen on routes between London and Dartford/Hayes.' - All stopping trains from Orpington to Charing Cross are this class. If no-one disagrees, I'd like to correct it ? Jaruzel (talk) 07:21, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

You have not stated what you think to be right or wrong! 'All Class 376 trains are allocated to Slade Green ...' - This is true. '... and are most seen on routes between London and Dartford/Hayes'. Not quite true, their primary route is to Dartford, but I think they might occassionaly stray down to Hayes. 'All stopping trains from Orpington to Charing Cross are this class'. False. The normal stock for this route is Class 465/466. Bhtpbank (talk) 11:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I think you are wrong. I commute daily from Orpington to London Bridge, and I can tell you for a fact, that the trains starting from Orpington and going to Charing Cross during morning rush hour are mostly 376s (or look like them at least). I am not a rolling stock expert, and merely wished to correct a mistake (as is the whole point of Wikipedia). As I understand it, the 376 stock have the recessed sliding doors, and have NO toilets, whereas the 465 stock have pop-out doors, and toilets on every fourth carriage. If I'm wrong, and there are secret 4xx stock that look like 376 please provide proof. Otherwise I would like to update this article. Jaruzel (talk) 12:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

The tone of your e-mail is a little agressive and confrontational, please remain WP:CIVIL. You have still not described what it is you think is wrong with the original text. If Class 376 services are operating the route to Orpington, then I am confused as to what it is you want to update!! Bhtpbank (talk) 16:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

My apologies, I do not mean to come across agressive. In short, I felt that the statement 'most seen on routes between London and Dartford/Hayes' was inaccurate, as this stock is also used on the London/Orpington route, and I wanted to expand that sentence to reflect that. As I am not a regular maintainer of the WikiProject Trains stuff, I just wanted to ask first before I waded in and changed it. Jaruzel (talk) 11:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Why is this a 3xx?

Why is this a 3 series rather than a 4? Has there ever been an official explanation? -mattbuck (Talk) 20:17, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

All EMU's that have the capability for dual voltage operation are given the 3xx number. Hence why we have the 375's and 376's in this 300 series of numbers.

Only pure d.c. EMU's (e.g. Class 458, 460) are in the 4xx number series. Bhtpbank (talk) 13:04, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
