Geoff the subclass of 377 that you were on is a suburban Variant if the class 377 is 5 cars in length its a suburban Variant but if its 3 or 4 cars in length its a long distance variant, but you are right that they do sometimes use the long distance 377s on the local suburban metro services but you were on a suburban 377
I'm so glad that the epsom downs branch line gets a half hourly service instead f a hourly service.
