If they do run, there should be 313's to Seaford - 2 an hour, 3 units. But it has been known for them to be substituted for 377's on football days so there is no guarantee that the Seafords will be 313's tomorrow
From around 3pm, there should be 2 x 313's coupled up in pairs shuttling to and from Falmer/Lewes for the football. These will be absolutely rammed

Thanks for this info. So football days are not the best. I might try and steer him to another weekend, then. Really appreciate the reply.
Yes, avoid football days on the East Coastway between Brighton and Lewes. You'll be wedged in with the crowd if you're within 2-3 hours of kick off, and after the game finishes. There is a clear slot during the match if you time it perfectly but exactly what state the 313 would be in I don't know.

Next weekend has Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, so I have no idea about trains up to Brighton, the weekend after that is another home game.
Are Sundays possible? Do 313s run on these days, I have forgotten.

They run on Sundays
3x Seaford
1x Littlehampton - Bognor (Depending on Engineering works)
Theres no 313s diagrammed on the West Coastway on Sundays anymore.
Next Sunday there's bus replacement between Three Bridges, Brighton and Lewes with Brighton Diverts on the Arun Valley.
Used to be one of my favourite days as a lad when I was allowed to operate( unofficially under supervision) the Amberley Semaphore Signals!

Is there not Class 313's East Coastway on Sundays?
Ive seen both 313 and 377 used but the timetable shows 1st class available on the Bognor to Littlehampton trains on Sundays. So definately not worth travelling down from London for imho.

Afternoon, Just passed lovers walk on a northbound Thameslink train and 313211 Visible looking all sparkly clean and looks like its had a bit of paint on the front
I'm certain that 211 will return to passenger service soon

At least Southern actually mantains their 313s. Great Northern did not care for 313s running down the fleet With fading FCC blue, letting litter and graffti art. I do hate 3 + 2 313s. Tolerate Southern refurbished ones.

Once they go the 318s will be the lowest number EMU working.

377 322 is on one of the three Seaford diagrams today. The 313s end is nigh.

100% 377 today on Seafords
If SWR finally sort out their 701s i believe so.
I believe they will be gone regardless
Seems like they are being used less and less, which is a good thing
There’s now a new thread started by @WizCastro197 below for the speculative discussions:
Southern Formation Changes Once The Class 313s Are Withdrawn.
It looks like the rest of the network won’t suffer too much, except for East Grinsteads not running 10 coaches to free up the 377/3s

Looks like there is a loco-hauled move from Lovers to Eastleigh tomorrow: is this 202/214/217 going and if so, why are they going to Eastleigh and not Newport (if anyone knows?)
