SOUTH COAST ‘GATEX’:

With Gatwick Express services suspended, and members of the red-liveried GX Class 387/2s fleet being temporarily transferred to Great Northern routes, the chances of one being used on the Brighton to Southampton currently counts as a rarity. This happened, however, on July 30 when No. 387225 was rostered to the 10.32 Brighton-Southampton and 12.33 return – which is pictured calling at Goring-by-Sea.
