A 4 car 375, from experience of them occasionally running pre-covid, is too long for Beltring station without using SDO, going by the fact the announcement about the rear coach not opening has gone off approaching this station. That said there are stations on the line that in the past were long enough for 4 cars, but tougher protocols now exist which stop 465s running on the branch in passenger service (but not ECS moves).
I went on it yesterday Full length down the line
Lovely UK weather
Wow lucky getting a 4 car 375 on the Maidstone West line as normally it'll be a /3 lol
Saw a 3 car 2 weeks ago
