Southern 377/3s & Southeastern 375/3s and 377/5s

[Boothby97]

Good Evening all.

Can anyone help please with the diagrams/typical route allocations for the Southeastern 3-car 375/3s and their 377/5s, and the 3-car Southern 377/3s?

Many thanks.

I don't have the diagrams, but from experience, the Southeastern 375/3s are primarily on the Strood - Maidstone West/Paddock Wood/Tonbridge sevices and (I believe) the Sittingbourne-Sheerness line. This accounts for most of the 10 units they have, with the remainder appearing on other Mainline services, although I don't have the diagrams.

The Southeastern 377/5s work most of the Maidstone East line services (except the Maidstone East - Blackfriars workings), as well as making some appearances of the other mainline routes out of Victoria.

There has been a recent posting about Southeastern 375/3s.

Where Do Class 375/3s Actually Run?

I am aware that the 375/3s are used on the Sheerness Branch and are or were used on the Medway Valley Line, but do they turn up elsewhere?

Southern 377/3s do Redhill to Tonbridge (on their own), London Victoria to London Bridge / West Croydon via Crystal Palace (as 10-car 4+3+3, some other Metro workings and I think a peak trip from / to the coast 4x3 has been mentioned.

375/5s also put in a regular appearance on Gillingham to Victoria stoppers via Denmark Hill.

I saw a 377/5 at Blackfriars the other week. Can’t remember what day. Might have been cover/ad hoc or diagramed but I can confirm it was a /5.

It might have been one of those random Blackfriars - Maidstone East services

There are 10x 375/3s at SE (there used to be more before a conversion and cascade to Southern), with 5x typically involved in Medway Valley (3x) and Sheerness (2x) diagrams during the peaks and Saturdays. The others will be either not used or on mainline services; I know at least one 7-car formation is allocated to the Maidstone East line during the week, don't know about the others.

Point of order - the Southern 377/3s only ever operated as 375/3s on the Southern routes, not the South Eastern routes. Always seemed a bit odd that they didn't follow the same carriage number sequence.

4 377/3's are now based out of Lovers Walk.
these do 0616 LIT-VIC, 0824 VIC-EBN as 9 car M/F and 12 car TWTh
then in the evening do 1601 BTN-ORE & 1736 ORE-BTN as a 3 car and 1701 BTN-ORE & 1837 ORE-BTN as a 6 car

Sotheastern 375/3s appear on some peak hour SEML services into/out of Charing Cross workong with pairs of 375/6/7/8s.

There was a 377/3 on the 1229 Portsmouth Harbour to Brighton today instead of the usual 313.

All Maidstone Blackfriars are operated by 377/5.
