377501-08 have transferred here from Thameslink.

This had long been rumoured. So now we know for certain that South Eastern are getting some 377s. I just wonder whether they will work interchangeably with 375s or be confined to selected routes.

Shortlist for next SE franchise:

South Eastern Holdings Ltd, a joint venture company that on franchise award will be wholly owned by Abellio Transport Group Ltd and East Japan Railway Company and Mitsui & Co Ltd
London and South East Passenger Rail Services Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Govia Ltd
Stagecoach South Eastern Trains Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stagecoach Group plc
Trenitalia UK Ltd, wholly owned by Trenitalia SpA

I would prefer while there is industrial problems in Southern England at Southern Railways which to be honest are Government inspired though that they are not given this franchise , if so the RMT will be up in arms .

377509-12 have now transferred from Thameslink to South Eastern Trains.
377503/04 were noted in service at Ashford in South Eastern livery.

The following units as mentioned in the list below going from Gillingham to Worksop for warm storage.
Tuesday 15th June
466033 + 465246 + 465236

Saturday 19th June
466024+ 465245 + 465004

Tuesday 22nd June
465010 + 465019 + 466004

These are due to the transfer of the Class 707s from SWR.

Those units going into warm storage suggests they will be used again. Unless passenger numbers are permanently down due to more working from home, in which case they could be withdrawn in due course

465241 and 465244 have moved up to Worksop today.

707009 and 707010 branded as "Citybeam" entered revenue earning service with Southeastern for the first time today. 707011 and 707012 are expected to follow soon.

Franchise terminated from 17th October over financial irregularities.
