New London Overground services to get new trains

TFL have just issued a press release regarding the new London Overground services getting the new Class 378 Capitalstar trains.
Thousands of customers on London Overground routes in East and North East London will travel on new air-conditioned trains from 2018, after TfL today announced that a contract with a capital value of around £260m will be awarded to Bombardier Transportation to build a new fleet of trains.

Video: London Overground Romford to Upminster branch


On 31st May 2015, the Romford to Upminster line were transferred to TFL's London Overground from Abellio Greater Anglia. 

The service uses British Rail Class 317. Inside they feature a table which is unusual for a Commuter railway train to have. So I felt the service is first class because of the features which London Overground provided for the Romford to Upminster Line.
