377s on coastway

[Fincra5]

How many class 377s currently are used to operate the Brighton-Seaford and Brighton West Worthing routes?

Need to know for ICT project.

Cheers

I am 99% sure it's two, almost always /3s, for the West Worthing runs, no idea about Seaford I'm afraid as I rarely travel that way.

I've had a /4 before. although it was a weekend.

 

[class377man]

Makes sense, the /3s are generally confined to working Brighton Expresses in 9 and 12 car formation on Sundays, and everything else is a, usually decidedly empty, /4.

It was a Saturday though

 

[Fincra5]

only really care about the maximum number of 377s used on these services. That will be replaced with 313s

Seaford is a self contained diagram off-peak, requiring 1x377/3 although in peak this becomes two. The West Worthing is 2 x /3s throughout the day.

377/3s are regular traction for the Pompey-Littlehampton and Pompey-Brighton services, Southampton trains are more likely to be 4 cars though.

I've had 4 hrs in Southampton, every brighton train was a /3
