Class 377/5 cascade to Southern

[TT-ONR-NRN]

I suspect the source was the thread I linked but that thread also indicates that the move fell through, which the OP may not have caught up with.

Yes, exactly, surplus GW units have long been confirmed as going nowhere

Not really the 15:xx out of Eastbourne to Victoria is formed of 12 coaches? That’s out of peaks

Is the 06:45 Victoria - Ore still 12 coaches up to Eastbourne? Surely that also has to be a big anomaly?

I’m not sure if it is still or not but as for why this run is/was 12 coaches is that the coaches dropped at Eastbourne then form a service back to Victoria

Oh I see.

If the class 377/5 from Southeastern do not arrive on time can they send the/2 instead to work Brighton to Seaford & Littlehampton to Bognor & Portsmouth?

The /2s already end up working across the network as necessary, other than the ones which have to work the Watford service. I'm not sure what point you are making. The /5 were never reported to be dedicated to Coastway workings. They would just have increased the pool of available 377s.
