As of October 2023, all Class 707s have transferred to Southeastern. They are all ex SWT/SWR units.
Southeastern operate 707s on all "Metro" services to/from Charing Cross and Cannon Street via London Bridge. Not sure if they'll ever operate to/from Victoria as many stations on "Metro" services to/from Victoria can only fit 8 car Class 465s. Maybe when Southeastern have taken all remaining 707s from SWR whenever the Class 701s are ready.
This is a walkthrough of 707005 which was coupled to 707006. This set was operating 2P43 1423 Southeastern service from Cannon Street to Slade Green via Greenwich before returning to Cannon Street via Bexleyheath calling at: London Bridge (1427), Deptford (1434), Greenwich (1437), Maze Hill (1440), Westcombe Park (1442), Charlton (1444), Woolwich Dockyard (1447), Woolwich Arsenal (1450), Plumstead (1452), Abbey Wood (1456), Belvedere (1459), Erith (1501) and Slade Green (1504). After a quick change of drivers at Slade Green, the train departs Slade Green at 1507 and returns back to Cannon Street via Bexleyheath calling at: Barnehurst (1515), Bexleyheath (1518), Welling (1521), Falconwood (1523), Eltham (1526), Kidbrooke (1530), Blackheeath (1534), Lewisham (1538), St Johns (1540), New Cross (1542), London Bridge (1549) and Cannon Street (1553)
