I'm not sure you are right about Southern, I think all their inner
suburban 455s are all still 2+3.
What definition of "inner suburban" do you mean though? I *think* I've seen
2+2 on some trains to both Epsom and Epsom Downs and location wise they're
analagous to Shenfield, but I may be mistaken.

All their 455s are 2+3. It's possible that SN has run the occasional
Electrostar on Epsom trains.

455s and 456s are 3+2. 377s do run to Epsom and Epsom Downs, and have a
mix of 2+2 and 3+2 seats within units - there are countless variations
of 377 carriage layout.

IMHO 3+2 doesn't work, as the middle seats are only of use for midgets
or children, and the aisles are too narrow.
