Nope. Some short platforms and no SDO (as far as I know)
Better to replace the 3 cars at SE with 377/5 and send those to Southern.
Or ALL day! Especially Sunday.

They were ordered by Southern but for temp use one thameslink to help delivery Key-Out Put 0 which entailed peak Kent services to travel through the core & some Brighton-Bedfords to go 12 Car. They have the southern decor internally as they were destined to head back earlier than 2017 but delays in singing for the Class 700's forced Southern to order more Class 377's..

The next 377 will be making it's way from Lovers Walk to Ashford this morning: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/K00969/2017/09/08/advanced
That now means 16/23 377/5 units are with Southeastern. Entry into service will be soon, once paper work is sorted.

377517 worked 5Y77 this morning
Great stuff. Can't wait for Networkers to be boosted to make the commute better. Too many 4 and 6 car services in the peaks from Victoria, Cannon St and Charing X (4 is with train faults)
Where are they being stored. Ashford full time? And how did they sort out the funding for this which was put at £2 million for 20 plus extra trains?

Yup. Very sad. Grew up spotting the 377s (and 319s) in their distinctive blue and pink livery so will miss them. End of an era.

As SE are now receiving more of these, will more drivers be doing a conversion course for them, or is that not necessary?
Im guessing that the only difference between these and 375s is the mitrac and the doo cameras which wont be needed. A simple paper brief will be enough.

I did understand that a separate traction course was necessary previously (presumably quite a short one for those who already sign 375s!). Has that been changed?
some positives finally for the SE region!

A separate traction conversion course is definitely needed.

Most drivers already sign them after a widespread conversion course ran last year.

Yesterday PM's 1F93 and this AM's 1F93 were both sub'd with Networkers. Are the 377s that normally run this over at Selhurt for some work or something?

There’s currently a lack of serviceable units. From Thursday the available fleet increases to 10 as 377509/521 return from modifications at Ramsgate
There are currently 7 units in use a day with only 8 units in total. WiFi mods are ongoing at Selhurst

Two 377/1s will join the Southeastern Fleet on top of 23x 377/5. Should be 377163 & 164

Had the increase from 16 - 23 been confirmed already then? I may have missed it as it is in so many discussions...
