377460 + 387210 at Eastbourne- mini vlog - OLD!!

[@Alec_66721]

Hey! Just a heads up, as this is still getting lots of views and comments (thanks for that btw) this video is fairly old and outdated, nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this video.

[@GoldM4official]

If the electrostars retire in the future, i would like to see a farewell tour with Classes 375, 377, 379 and 387 going around the southern region.

[@VictoriaLine1968]

Only problem with that is 379s are not DC their AC EMU

[@levigaming-1]

Not only that the 369s don’t run anymore stansted express greater anglia got rid of them for the stupid 745s

[@breltransport]

375/7s and 377/2s have pantographs, so they can operate actually.

Very bizarre! Amazing catch! 😀

[@BusesFromHanworth]

This happened on TSW4 when a 4 car 377 coupled to a 8 car 387 to take to brighton EDIT:It wasn’t in free roam! It was indeed timetabled as the 08:43 to Brighton

Very nice catch!

If only if this was in passanger use lol

[@busymewing]

I seen a 376 couple a 377 before. Idk why but it just did.

[@fbl.editz6]

That’s extremely weird considering 377s mostly go where 376s don’t

[@mudchute4dlr]

why cant they run together in passanger service?

[@Alec_66721]

Sorry for the incredibly slow reply. The internal components are closely correlated, which is how they can couple together and run out of service. But it is a lot more complex then that once attempting to run them in service. In relatively simply terms, the internal computers (which control the PIS and various other systems) don’t have matching software, which means at least one of the two units wouldn’t be able to operate as it should. For example, the PIS won’t work, and the guard/driver won’t be able to make an announcement on both units if needed, only the one that was “operational” (being drove.) This could cause safety risks, especially in an emergency incident, as anybody in the other portion would have no way of knowing what was happening. There are various other factors involved, but this comment is already too long, so I hope this sums it up.

[@mudchute4dlr]

@@Alec_66721 oh that makes sense, but can a GWR 387 couple with a GN 387 or GX?

[@Alec_66721]

@@mudchute4dlr yes they can, and they can also run in service. At present GN actually have a GX 387(201) and used to have various other units too, they also have a few GWR units.

[@NiallWardrop]

It's a railway thing, been going on for years. One of the biggest advantages of railways in theory is the ability to add and remove coaches. For some reason they try very hard to have as much stock as possible which cannot do this. Quite why this is is a mystery.

[@PGATProductions]

@@Alec_66721 what about the 377/6 and /7s compatability?

[@PopPulsarGames]

they should use this for christmas

[@Transport-Coolfunr]

Perfeclty fine to run undr passenger service.. has been done a few times already and will continue to do so If seen comments abt why they cant run cause of saftey.. thats false litreally the only major difference with the 387 and 377 are the speed variables but BMT is limited to 90mph so GX and Southern are under the GTR franchise and is completely legal to run them in public service

[@Alec_66721]

Can I check, do you work for GTR? Because the sources I got the information for this video from all do.
