But what about their glory days on the NLL and Great Northern? At least they gave us proper seating unlike the 378s where you can’t see out of the window while sitting?
Surely trains operating at higher speeds will wear out quicker?
Brighton to Seaford has the same speedlimits and there planned to stay on that till the end
Is the whereabouts of 214 known? Is it isn't with the others at Hove Yard is it?
No, only 206 211 confirmed at hove
206 211 temporary storage due to them not being needed
9x but alot of the time one of the Portsmouth diagrams is a 377
When was 217 stopped?
I think it was late June 22When was 217 stopped?
Oh, so out of service for some time now. Is it in Lovers Walk?
No idea
Because many of us want to know when withdrawals occur and actual changes, and when we get alerts for this thread only to see more random reminiscing and trips down memory lane, it’s rather irritating.
Thanks for noting me
I’ll just add that these updates on withdrawn units today is certainly not what I’m talking about in bold, and it’s very useful indeed to learn what has been stopped - many thanks for all information given
Haha! Good point, if you want to have that conversation you can do it in mine and share you experiencesI’ll just add that these updates on withdrawn units today is certainly not what I’m talking about in bold, and it’s very useful indeed to learn what has been stopped - many thanks for all information given
What I was referring to was arguments about whether or not the 313s are too old or whether 213 sounds better than 218
That’s not really the case here. There are only 9 313s in use at the moment. Despite the 455s being released there are still surplus units and finding a few 377/3s won’t be detrimental to the timetable.
Just to add to the helpful posts from others, always a good idea to head to Brighton and then look at what comes in and out on the Seaford services - you can break a journey at Lewes or Newhaven or Seaford and then use a different train back. The south downs scenery on the line is very good too. One carriage (the middle one I think) has windows at one end that align best with the seats so better for for views if you want to do part of the trip in that carriage.

Buy in advance (a few days in advance is required IIRC, looks like 3) on line a Southern Daysave ticket (see southern website) which is a rover on southern trains that you can use that for travel from/back to London too - only on Southern services tho -, as well as the trips on the 313 trains.

Others will advise, but are there still Littlehampton - Portsmouth 313 services? Or did these stop in December
If so you can also get any train west from Brighton (sometimes use a change at Hove) and pick these 313 services up at Barnham or Littlehampton and use that line too. All that is also valid on the Southern Daysave ticket
Toilets at stations are useful!
All being well you can make it a good day out with your son (and if you like toys and models the museum under Brighton Station (Brighton Toy and Model Museum) might be a good place to call in, though with shorter daylight hours you will probably just want to ride the trains!)
Thanks - that's a good point, longer days and warmer weather make it nicer for sure.
