Southern's 377/1 Interior Refreshment

At the end of July 2011 Southern's Selhurst Depot began a rolling programme of refreshing 377/1 (all three batches) interiors which consists of replacing the seat fabric, fitting hard wearing carpet, vice the original linoleum, in vestibules and new lavatory floor coverings, plus repainting of surfaces. By the end of October ten units had been completed.

This series of photographs compares before and after refreshment, all pictures taken by "GB" (on 29th October 2011) unless otherwise credited.
