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.
