Having read the previous thread about 377 subclasses and what they work, can anyone confirm that my list below is a true accuracy of what the orders of 375 and 377 were intended for? Any data I am unsure about I have highlighted in red.
375s
375/3 replaces 411 3-CEP (3 car, single voltage, outer suburban units, to create 11 car trains on the Hastings Line)
375/6 replaces 411 4-CEP (4 car, dual voltage, outer suburban units, intended for use on Thameslink 2000 cross-city services)
375/7 replaces 421 4-CIG (4 car, single voltage, outer suburban units)
375/8 replaces 365 Networker? (4 car, single voltage, outer suburban units)
375/9 replaces 423 4-VEP (4 car, single voltage, high density outer suburban units)
377s
377/1 replaces 421 4-CIG (4 car, single voltage, outer suburban units)
377/2 replaces 319 (4 car, dual voltage, outer suburban units for WLL cross-city services)
377/3 replaces 421 3-COP (3 car, single voltage, regional units for East/West Coastway services)
377/4 replaces 423 4-VEP (3 car, single voltage, high density outer suburban units)
377/5 replaces nothing (4 car, dual voltage, outer suburban, additional 377/2s for Brighton Mainline RUS? - subleased to FCC for Thameslink)
377/6s replaces nothing? (5 car, single or dual voltage?, inner or outer suburban unit?)
I know that the 375/9 and 377/4 high density sets are used predominantly to be coupled to low density sets to increase capacity on peak hour trains, so that half the train is of low density seating for long distance passengers and the other half is high density seating for short distance passengers.
Thanks.
