The lone 455 beckenham junction diagram today in the earlier post is a 377.
I have seen 2 of the 3 beckenham trains so far and they are 377s

Something crossed my mind the other day after doing a few of the 455 runs to places like Beckenham - while most of the 455s were in an ok condition internally, quite a few of them had suffered at the hands of some of the local “artists”, as well as become hangouts for some of the local gangs towards the evenings. I wonder how long it’ll take before Southern has regrets when Selhurst has to spend time each night / week cleaning up the graffiti etc left behind?The lone 455 beckenham junction diagram today in the earlier post is a 377.

Given Southern already has a lot of 377s out on metro work I doubt it makes that much difference.I wonder how long it’ll take before Southern has regrets when Selhurst has to spend time each night / week cleaning up the graffiti etc left behind?
455814 is out today: it was running solo on the 08.50 Victoria-London Bridge this morning, and 5804 was on the 09.00-odd Clapham Junction-Victoria (presumably the 08.08 from Epsom Downs).The lone 455 at Selhurst depot is 455814. It was meant to go out paired with 455801 today but unfortunately 5801 had a minor brake defect so is not out today and may not return to service.
Oops - sorry - misread the time of the last train.What Time is the last class 455 from London Bridge to penge West tonight please?
The 0025 doesn’t go to Penge West, it’s via Tulse Hill0025 from London Bridge is the last 455 to Penge West today.
The last 455 to Penge West tonight is booked to be 2340 LBG-East CroydonWhat Time is the last class 455 from London Bridge to penge West tonight please?
1330 should be a 455, diagram SL510Anyone know where 804 is currently? Or if the 1330 to Epsom Downs is is a 455?
Many thanks
Cheers! Unfortunately missed it as had an emergency application on my train up to town, having to replan now...all good though Now on 833, saw an UID heading into London Bridge and 842, if anyone needs those - both running as 4-car, hoping everything goes to plan and the 2316 Victoria -Sutton is the booked pair later on! Just crossed 814 as well at New Cross Gate1330 should be a 455, diagram SL510

Ah nice! 833 struggled up the bank a bit between New Cross Gate and Brockley, doesn't help we're following a late running 378 Got a bit overconfident and forgot about the 377 subs, just been bowled by 705 - have had 807, 833, 836 and 843 so far so not too bad, still got a bit of time. Think I was just talking to someone from here at Norbury, nice to meet you if you see this!I'm at Coulsdon Town atm on 830 I think on the 14:12 to London bridge
Was on 804 earlier, was on the 1346 to Sutton out of VictoriaAnyone know where 804 is currently? Or if the 1330 to Epsom Downs is is a 455?
Many thanks
There does seem to be a thing for units failing on their last day, IIRC 43002 had problems on the final day of GWR HST operations, and it had a temporary fault on The Flying Banana railtour a fortnight later, from experience of being on it.
Retimed to depart 1712 to allow for comfort breaks.Tour was supposed to be off Blackfriars at 1642 but still seems to be in the platform
Indeed, seems to be a reoccurring theme
Ah ok cool! Going to try and catch it through Peckham, it's still booked via Catford right?Retimed to depart 1712 to allow for comfort breaks.
Surely it is more likely to be a 377/3 + 377/3 + 377/3 formation.There is currently a 9car class 377 on the London Bridge to Caterham/Tattenham Corner service, meaning that it is a Class 377/1/2/3/4 coupled to a Class 377/6/7 which is very rare, and I am assuming has something to do with the transition to 8 car trains on the splitter services, to transfer 5car trains onto other metro services

No, it isn't more likely. Occasional 4+5 formations do happen on those services, particularly given the usual operation is 5+5, rather than 3+3+4.Surely it is more likely to be a 377/3 + 377/3 + 377/3 formation.
It isn’t, on the southern website the service splits into a 4 car and a 5 car service at Purley, and then on the way back it becomes a 4+4 and a 5+5 serviceSurely it is more likely to be a 377/3 + 377/3 + 377/3 formation.
yeah that happens regularly on East Grinstead services at least.I've just seen a 10 car 377 and it's a 377/4 and two 377/3s
Most of the Class 377 metro services are of this formation.yeah that happens regularly on East Grinstead services at least.
Indeed I've seen a 377/3 coupled to a 377/6 on East Grinstead services twice before as well.Most of the Class 377 metro services are of this formation.
