A timetabled service such as the 15:07 from London Bridge will not ever be “unusual“ anytime soon, as Southern only have 171s and electric multiple units, therefore it can only really be a 171.

However, I believe this working and return uses 2x 37s and 7x MK2s:

Thanks to both you. I did think it was odd it could be a timetabled train but then thought maybe it was hired in specifically. However a rail tour makes more sense
