Where Do Class 375/3s Actually Run?

[Doomotron]

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?

There’s the occasional seven carriage formation on Charing Cross/Victoria services, but it’s not particularly common. There are only ten though, and the Medway eats up three including a peak extra, then the Sheerness branch uses two, which is half spoken for already. There’s two or three attached to mainline services as I said, and the rest stay unallocated.

On Saturday last week the 06:40 VIC-RAM ran as 3 375.

When you say 3 375 do you mean three 375s coupled together? Because that isn't what I meant.

No, sorry. A single 375/3 unit operated the service. I'm not sure if it's routine. Most are used on the branch routes and then the remainder strengthen mainline services. For example the 16:40 VIC-RAM (M-F) is booked as an 11 car.

A peak hour service formed of three coaches. Almost like Northern ran that service! At least it wasn't heading towards London, that would have been unbearable.

Hope this helps.
