Indeed, I enjoyed that video. 1630963880 So like the 376s, these won’t go near Victoria, any reasons why this is the case? I have looked for reasonable answers but can’t seem to find any.

A lot of people are short term thinking, having that thought process that because of the pandemic, train travel will never be the same again (in terms of volumes of people). Wrong. It will be. Maybe not this year or not even next but it will. Look back into history and see what happened in the...

Such is the performance of Thameslink of late, I thought they had been on strike for the last few weeks anyway. That being said, never had any issue with any of the toilets, probably the cleanest I’ve seen on the majority of the network.

@JaJaWa Assuming this is your personal design, you should present this to the powers that be. I would absolutely love this if they used this as the new symbol. Well done you.8-)

I was on the Peterborough train from Redhill (10.28) yesterday going to London Bridge, although not scheduled to stop at either Purley or Norwood Junction (neither train times or dot matrix stated this), it did, in addition, of course, to its regular stops at Merstham and Coulsdon South. Based...

I’d happily take the 319s back. The 700s are a dull, soulless experience.

Agreed, even pre-refurb, I’ve always enjoyed the travelling experience on a 377 and despite their age, still retain the element of being up to date and modern, although I should caveat that with the journeys on the /6 and /7 are not quite the same.

There is absolutely no comparison between the Southern units and the SWR ones. Put it this way, I’d rather wait 20 minutes and get a 377 than a 455 on Southern but I would happily board a SWR 455 because of a) comfort, b) ambience and c) airline style seats. Southern seemed to go down the cheap...

Isn’t a set going to EOR or is this not the case anymore?

well I would like someone to argue what commuter service has a better first class in terms of ambience and comfort.

Correct, class 379, I keep referring to them as 387s, apologies.

So I’ve just been on a class 377/6 into London Bridge. By pure luck, the next leg of the journey was to Enfield Lock where a 387 was waiting. The difference in speed between the two is very noticeable, I’ve always felt the 377s had more to give but never full whack on the fast between East...

On one of these now, is this the last true, proper first class we will see on a modern commuter train?

I beg to ask but the 456 units were originally with Southern and would have had the same issue; 1 x 455 and 2 x 456. As we know, Southern do not have guards so effectively that would mean two ‘unstaffed’ units which clearly was never an issue for them so why is it such a big issue with SWR? You...

Passed this on the M25 yesterday at Cobham, then again at Coulsdon South heading in the direction of Selhurst. Assuming this is the correct unit? Sorry, as you can see, my co-pilot cannot take pictures very well in a moving vehicle.

See this today on the M25 going past Cobham, as I dropped my mate off at Coulsdon South and headed back towards Redhill on the A23 I see it again going past me looking like it was heading towards Selhurst. Anyone know why? My apologies for the appalling picture taken by my passenger who...

Good to see the 377 with a healthy lead. Although there are hardly any differences between that and the 375, the 377 just edges it. However, the 377/6/7 are not part of my vote mainly because I don’t think the internal ambience is as nice as the 1-5s. 1618134983 Absolutely. Connex, quite...

Dagenham Dock is grim. As is Rainham. In fact, you could pretty much select 50% of C2C’s stations.

that’s not correct, I still only see a handful each day, my office sits opposite the track on the ELL.
