377618 has been moved to Bescot behind 66147 on its delivery run to Stewarts Lane.

Deliveries of 377/6s are making good progress to have reached 377618. I shall look out for which south London route they are most likely to operate on. In practice, I shall probably wait and combine it with a 377/7 ride.

With the entry into service of 377604/05/06/09 six Class 456 have been withdrawn from service and moved to Stewarts Lane in preparation for their transfer to South West Trains. These are 465005/08/14/22/23/24. The Class 456 were built in 1982-84 by BREL at York, and have the same body shell as the Class 320/321/322.

There is a feature on Southern in December's Modern Railways. It promises the following routes for 10-car services:

Victoria - Dorking/ Horsham via Hackbridge and Epsom
Victoria - Epsom Downs via Norbury
Victoria - West Croydon via Streatham Hill
Victoria - London Bridge via Streatham Hill and Crystal Palace
London Bridge - Epsom/ Guildford via Norwood Junction
London Bridge/ Victoria - Caterham/ Tattenham Corner

So, will these be the routes to use class 377/6s?

Yes they are the proposed 377/6 routes.

The 8 x 377/7 are now in build. These will be used on East Croydon-Milton Keynes services in place of 377/2. Six 377/2 will go on loan to First Capital Connect allowing six 319/3 to go off lease. Whilst no destination for these has been stated it is assumed that they will go to Northern Rail for Liverpool to Manchester services.

With all 377/6 now delivered 377703 has arrived at Stewarts Lane. It is to be tested at 110 mph on the WCML as far north as Rugby.

377703/4 are currently under test between Stewarts Lane and Dover.

Class 377/7 started in service on 23rd June. Those in service have mainly been working on 377/6 diagrams.
Two 377/2 have now left Southern for Thameslink.
