Does anyone get the 07:32 from Brighton to London Bridge?

Might need to get this one tomorrow and was wondering what the performance since Monday was like, now that it uses a Gatwick Express train.

I remember last time it was horrendous - at least 15 minutes late each day.

Cheers.

Is it Gatwick stock?

Think so, one of the red, grey and white ones - not the green and white ones..

I got on it yesterday at Preston Park. Was on time and comfortable

Cheers - sounds promising.

Something about Gatwick Express trains that mean the seats are more uncomfortable even than Thameslink trains (I mean the tatty thameslink carriages not the re painted southern ones) but dunno why coz it shouldnt be in theory.

Not happy tho if the Gatwick carriages are being used full time, there is only one f***ing door at each end so it takes aaages to get out/off.

Really? I like those trains and am quite happy they are used on the Victoria route every day.

You wanna try an hour and a half sitting on a 313 lad. Don't know you're born

I would much rather have the Southern ones back

I've been on Gatwick Express trains from Glynde to London Bridge that have been held up for twenty minutes outside London Bridge - because they were waiting for an available platform that will take them ... and some don't. Very frustrating.

When everything is running well, though ... no problem.
