I would love to know when these trains are on the Greenford branch. I only saw a class 165 yesterday.

I would love to know when these trains are on the Greenford branch. I only saw a class 165 yesterday. It's only out for testing, not passenger service yet, won't be a for a while and it might not even happen What if it became a branch off the Elizabeth line? It would be prohibitively expensive to electrify the Greenford branch and upgrade it to Elizabeth Line standards, and I doubt there is capacity to run additional trains through Ealing Broadway. As it stands, the Greenford branch line is a very handy self-contained line for the Battery train trail; if the train fails it does not impact on any other services and there are plenty of alternative bus services in the area. There is nothing more I'd like to see than a 9 car 204M train stopping at platforms that are 50M long or how it would fit into Greenford itself which is only 83M long
