    I thought there was. I could swear that in videos I had spotted a couple, and then there's that splash screen in front of Battersea Power Station.

    There should be but only AI services going out of Victoria and off to the left which is not player accessible.

    If you have the 465 it's AI only. The only route the 465 is drivable on as a layer is SEHS. If I recollect it's something to do with the route they run and the platforms they use

    Correct. There is Class 465, and Class 43 services that are AI only. Also there are 2 services for the Newhaven Stone train (one in each direction). The other Class 66 services are AI only and they run around the Ludgate runs to and from Acton and Wembley.

    Cheers

  5. If you are positive you have both SEHS and 465, remember that these layers only work on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC

    In real life, I think the 465s are banned from the Brighton Main Line. Not sure why, though (maybe they're just too fabulous for it ;) )

    Maybe because of their maximum speed of only 75mph?

    A few years ago, I read somewhere online that the 465 is restricted due to the loading guage of the BML. I don't know if this applies also to the 165/166, but if it does, that might narrow it down to the tunnels.

    I can't find where I read this though.

    So far only Southeastern 375s, 377s and 508s have been known to traverse the BML.

    There should be 465 AI at Victoria, along with 375 AI. Do you see the the 375s?

    Haha, they fixed the visibility issue with the 357/376 lol

    Try looking around Grosvenor Carriage Sidings, there should be one parked there throughout the day.

    I hope we get them in the game. I have to be honest I feel like I'm sat in a post box driving the 377/387 etc.

    Wasn't the 357 the first one, and then southern/se wanted gangways?

    I think 395s might have done as well on railtours. The 375s do so on the diversions you added to the route, but for a while SE 375s were used by Southern. I wonder if the Class 424 has ever made it down the BML? :D
    I haven't seen much inside the cab of the 376 - is it pretty much the same as the 357 cab, but with three windows?

    Forgot the Javelin did tours. As for the 424... who knows lol

    As for the 357/376 cabs, on a quick look, they are relatively similar, with different button locations as well as pan up/down for the 357.

    It certainly did before it was a 424, but I'm not sure about when it was converted.
