Southern | Class 377 - London Victoria to Brighton (Fast)

Southern... Southern... Southern... one of the train operating companies in the UK notorious for its delays. Today, the train only had a 5 minute turnback at London Victoria (as it was 10 minutes late for the arrival), leaving me very little time to prepare! There was a points failure between Gatwick Airport and East Croydon (reported in the Earlswood area) which was the reason behind the delay. Departing from Victoria on the fast service to Brighton, we only called at Clapham Junction, East Croydon, Gatwick Airport, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Brighton. It was nice to see everything fly past us as we were at speeds of 90 mph on this route. Sadly however, on the arrival into Brighton, my camera died - so R.I.P.
Also, I shortened the station stops for East Croydon, Gatwick Airport and Haywards Heath. (Haywards Heath didn't go so well :/)
