    Do TFL Class 378 still rarely run on Watford DC line? If not then, some of these services shouldnt be here.

    Please do correct me if im wrong.
    I have attached sceenshots. PS i dont think having a Class 378 for service "5Q54: Northampton - Willesden" is correct as why would TFL go outside its confort zone

    A headcode starting with 5 is an empty coaching stock maneuver. And just north of Northampton station is King's Heath Depot, where it appears electric trains get serviced.
    That's off some quick research. I don't know exactly what they do at Kings Heath Depot, but it could be part of a maneuver that's getting a 378 back into it's comfort zone.

    The London Overground fleet is usually serviced at Bombardier's facility at Ilford Depot. I don't know whether there's a wheel lathe at King's Heath Depot, that's one of the jobs that doesn't have be undertaken by Ilford especially if theirs is busy.
