Class 377 light refresh

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Am I the only one that actually likes the new font? It’s very nice on the eyes in my opinion and easier to read. I do wish it scrolled a bit quicker though

I think the old one was much more aesthetically pleasing but granted the new one is clearer.

Hi all, I saw a 3 series last week that had a full refresh, new paint, everything below solebar level also nice and fresh, could even clearly see the isolation cock labels etc. Is this a widespread refresh of the coastal 377s? Looked super smart, hopefully is a ongoing effort.

I bet it still had the nasty Connex beige walls unique to the /3s and early /1s.

Yes, the 377/3’s are now undergoing what looks to be C6 overhauls at Selhurst which includes exterior and interior refreshes.

Yes. No change there. But it looks like the slightly bouncier seating has been removed. Those early 377s had a spring in the seat in the housing under the seat cushion. This 'seems' to have gone.

Yes - concrete is the new UK standard for seat cushioning. It weighs a lot but is very durable...

That's good, I have been thinking they are in need of a freshen up, I recently got told they are halfway through thier life cycle? Which I guess would make sense for the freshen up?

Any pictures of this refresh?

Will the Class 379 get the Aurora upgrade to now once all 30 have entered service with Great Northern?

I would think so, especially since they’re now owned by the same ROSCO as the other GTR Electrostars in Porterbrook

"Were with you to give u a migrane".
Yep agree, they flash when they change. Awful.
ANOTHER Lack of attention to detail thing on our railways. Amateurish.

They are hard ignore if I sit too close. Constantly flickering between bright and dark. I don't know what purpose they serve, compared with paper adverts.

They dont flash as much as they used to and they sometimes show underground info.

They still change picture every few seconds and once seen it is very difficult to unsee them. I tried looking out of the window but I could see the screen in the reflection. There wasn't any useful info on my recent trip. Just adverts.

I don't know if they have ambient light sensors to adjust the backlight (I don't think they do) but I don't see them as being particularly bright. I do tend to sit with my back to them.

They do show useful information relating to big engineering works, QR codes for various information, along with the animated 'filler' ads about groupsave or whatever. I've not seen any commercial advertising, but nor have I yet seen service information when approaching stations that would be useful (platforms, times, delays etc).
