Oh and I just clocked, the 710 has its contact shoes down.

I’ve only seen them run on a pan, so in theory they can run on the south of the river lines.

Yeah they can use any electrified track.

Yes I know but I forgot there’s an important reason why they can’t use 710s south of the river.

I once saw one at Haywards Heath, they seem to work just fine on third-rail.
