FCC in Kent

[bsillett]

Hi all,
Don't know where to find out the info for this so thought that someone on here may know.
I live in Strood, Kent and can see the trains on the Victoria to Kent Coast line from my back garden ( about 500 yards away). Latley I have noticed a First Capital Connect train pass (coast bound) at around 18.15 and going London bound at around 18.40.
Now what I would like to know is what is this service?
Thanks
Brian

Bedford - Rochester and vice vera - replacing the old Blackfriars services ....

I think it's a joint FCC/SE service, no ?

There are arrivals at Rochester from Thameslink at 1828 and 1910.

Yep, officially FCC north of Blackfriars, SE south thereof.

There is also a 1939 Rochester - Victoria service (formerly an ECS move) that is formed of FCC stock. Comes down as the 1658 from Bedford.

If you happen to like 319 or 377 units then Bedford is the place to be. Unfortunately the footbridge by the river which provided an excellent vantage point for Bedford carriage sidings was taken out a few weeks ago.
