Could 707s replace GTR's remaining 313s on their Southern routes?

707s last then? Not that long ago people had them going first. Nobody must want them...

Would they be any good as 313 replacements on Southern ?

I think they probably would be fine, but I’m sure people will latch onto the lack of toilets. Just like the 313s...

They;d be better for Metro services in London. Releasing the 377/3s - (perhaps for Battery Mods for Uckfield and the Marshlink. TO replace 171s)

Cascade to Southeastern has also been mooted.
