There are now 16 Siemens Class 700s in the UK, after 12-car 700104 was delivered to Three Bridges depot in the early hours of June 1.
The dual-voltage electric multiple units are due to enter traffic imminently, although at the launch for the trains on May 24, Govia Thameslink Railway could not give a firm date (RAIL 802).

So is there any chance of the Class 700 12-car trains are due to operate on passenger use on the Thameslink route in June/July or is it to start service by mid December.
