Re: Reigate - EMU?

I was certain that at my last visit to Reigate (GW service from
Redhill) I was surprisaed by how rusty the conductor rails were and
concluded it must have been some time since a juicer worked there, but
today going over the crossing I glanced into the station and saw what
I took to be a 165 GW service (blue & purple livery?) and a mint green
coloured jobby which I took to be southern livery... so... are there
any DMUs in southern livery or have EMUs started working to Reigate
again? I am certain the green thing was an emu (365) large headlamps
and definately not a 165 or similar

I think there always have been some Southern (previously Southcentral, etc)
electric trains to Reigate, though at times there have only been a few. The
current timetable seems to show about 20 a day each way.

It won't have been a 365 - they've never gone anywhere near there, and are
currently all on FCC (Great Northern lines). It was probably a 377.
