The stoppers are class 455 and/or 456. 455s are more common.

Thanks Simon, since you seem to have constantly helped me all day, would you be interrested in taking a look at the first activity?

Sure.

Fast services consist of 319's.
411's, 421's or 423's depending what South Eastern are running, sometimes a 508.
Or Southern 377's at Peak times.

I see
421's, 423's, 375's, 377's, 508's, 319's and the odd 171, 456. (passing Forest Hill anyway)
Stoppers are 455's, 456's, 423's, 421's as far as I can see.

I've made several present day activities, uploading soon, in 3 activity packs,

"Metro services"
"South Eastern"
"Redhill, Tonbridge and Oxted lines"

They will be avaliable in the next few days, naturally requiring LB Addpack.

Please tell me any 411 services, I'm not old enough to have seen any in action!

Your best bet is probably to go to Charing Cross, they can still be found on the SE expresses out of there, but the Electrostars are starting to take over.

I thought they had been withdrawn!

Nope, not completely, I don't think. In fact, SE bought some in from SWT not long ago.

sometimes you cann see the odd southern 319 's stopping and maybe even a thameslink 319 stopping if southern have borrowed one of their trains between london with all stops via norwood junction, very rare thou.

I was actually on a borrowed 319 from Streatham Hill-Forest Hill, which was a Thameslink train. That was only once though. I was also on a Thameslink 319 on a London Bridge-Smitham service (via Peckham Rye and Nobury).
