In the space of six minutes....

Normally, during the day, the West Coastway at West Worthing is a steady diet of 377s on Littlehampton to Victoria and Brighton to Southampton trains, and 313s working the Brighton to Portsmouth and Brighton to West Worthing services. 

Covid has shaken this up a little and simplified the service. There is no Brighton to West Worthing service and the Brighton to Portsmouth is provided by 377s. This means no 313s during the bulk of the day, essentially this has become a 377 railway. 

The week of Sunday 04/10/2020 onwards has shaken this up a little, however, with 37610 in residence operating from Brighton Wall Sidings at different times and the autumnal Railhead Treatment Trains starting to make an appearance. As per this blog item title, all of the following could be observed in the space of six minutes....
