Favourite Electrostar

Your 320s sound like our 313s. The 315s and 321s however are chugging along nicely for their age.

They run nicely enough but the 318s seem to be in a better state appearance wise, inside and out!

387s are pretty nice

The older 377s (377 101-119), as well as the 377/3s, win it for me. The 2+2, very comfortable seating throughout these units really makes for a pleasant journey (I don't even mind being caught up in the delays Southern throw at us when travelling on these!).

377 120-139 are not too bad either, but they have 3+2 seating in the middle of each coach, with 2+2 at each end.

As for the younger 377s, again, some of the seating is comfortable (the 2+2 sections, located in the outer coaches), but if you're unlucky enough to be in one of the centre coaches, it's not a pleasant ride!

Yes it's funny because many people are unaware that there is far superior seating only a coach away

Of course people are reluctant to move
The 3+2 seating is awful as you can barely get past the seats let alone with luggage and they get battered as a result

There is a small section of 2+2 in one of these coaches but ironing boards are still used

377120-139 are not liked as regulars queue at the rear coach only to find the high density layout. One of the areas of 2+2 is first class only in the rear coach so there is a bit of a race for the unoccupied remaining 'compartments'

377/6s - great seating layout and strong air con
Least favourite is the 377/3. When you get them on the 10 car it’s just a miriad of cabs and disabled toilets with a smattering of seats

357s, I find that they have the most comfortable seats out of all of them. Not that I'm a big Electrostar fan mind you, far from it!

Going off on the Electrostars I have been on, Class 387.
