Units from the 377120-139 batch (or any SU unit for that matter) can
be found on the 20:28 SSuX LBG-BTN and 21:34 return.  They also make
appearances on VIC-BTN stoppers on Sundays, but I don't have the
details.

Regarding *BI* 377/1 and 377/4 seating capacity, the difference isn't
enormous due to luggage stacks and generous legroom in the 3
sections (which are only between external doors in non-driving
vehicles in any case), combined with the loss of four first class
seats per unit in the /4s.  I hesitate to quote the exact numbers, as
I'm not convinced the edition of Mr. Fox's publication I have is quite
right.
