Yes there is a few weird railways like that that are kinda just anomalies-TFW to Birmingham, GWR to Pembroke Dock, Scotrail to Carlisle-they are all really cool though

Another interesting video - thanks for sharing your experience! Was there anything noticeably different comparing the 3rd Rail and Overhead Line parts of the journey? Speed? Acceleration? Motor sounds? I will forgive you for saying that Watford is “The North” 0:59 as you’re a nice guy even if you are a southerner! 😂 One of my favourite railway facts is that the end of the East Coast Main Line (Glasgow Central) is further west than the end of the Great Western Main Line (Bristol Temple Meads). I wonder if there are other directional anomalies you could investigate? Do other railway companies also have unexpected routes? Do any Thameslink trains not cross the river Thames? How far outside the East Midlands does EMR extend? I know Scotrail goes to Carlisle in England but what about TfW? Are all Gatwick Express trains actually fast enough to be called Express? Maybe you can explain why Great Northern is called that when it’s a not-so-great railway based in the South of England! I know much of the London Underground is actually Overground but how much of the Overground network is Underground? Thanks again for your content - looking forward to the next one!

Fantastic video skills for such a young guy. Watch out Geoff Marshall! haha. This refurb looks quite nice. I used to commute on the 458/0s and have been on a few 458/5s. They're generally very good trains, with more comfortable seats than Desiros or any other SWR train except 159s. The only thing I don't like about them is how they shake for a few seconds when pulling away from the platform and how ear peircingly loud the door opening sound is when you're standing right next to the speaker.

The 458/0s had a bumpy entry into service but were eventually almost exclusively used on the Waterloo to Readings up until about 2012 with a few exceptions. It was only really their first couple of years where they were problematic. Keep in mind when they entered service the majority of the SWR fleet was 1960s slam door units and the 455s so these were quite a step forward for them at that time. When they entered service they were geared for 100mph ops but later regeared to 75mph which appeared to solve many of the unreliability issues. A couple of them in the early days also operated alongside the 460s on the Gatwick Express. The Gatwick Express routes were later expanded to Brighton and there weren’t enough units to facilitate this - so they made use of the 442s instead for GX as thewe had recently left SWT having been replaced by 444s and 450s. Around the same time, SWT were becoming obsessed with the idea that all metro/ inner suburban trains should be 10 carriages and there were a lot of platform extensions to allow this. They obtained 456s to extend 8 car 455 services to 10 car but they had something more radical in mind for the 458s. As the 460s were now redundant, despite looking cosmetically different, they are Junipers and mechanically quite similar to the 458s. So the idea was that one 460 carriage would be inserted into each of the thirty 458 sets, to make them 5 carriages long. A further 6 units could also be made by converting 6 of the 8 class 460s into 458s also. These became 458531 - 536. As a fleet they were incredibly reliable. As you know SWR came along and frankly made a mess of things. They brought back the 442s at a cost of over £40 million which involved a complete refurbishment and a new traction package. This was a good idea in my view as whilst old, they were designed for long distance. As you rightly say in the video - the 455/456/458/707s were to be replaced with the 701s. When Covid came along, despite the money invested in the 442s, a decision was taken to retire them immediately- most went to Wolverton to be stripped (given that there was a lot of new technology put in them). A new plan was formulated to essentially put the 458s back to almost original specification. This was to uprate them to 100mph ops and remove the extra carriage which came from the 460. 28 are due to be overhauled with an uncertain future for the other 8. As for the roll out on the Weybridge line - there’s mixed reports - but as you can see they’ve been designed for distance services but a review after the contracts were signed for the overhauls meant that they were no longer needed on the Portsmouth/ Bournemouth services as first intended - so they are now being used on the Weybridge route. Once more 701s enter service, I’m sure this’ll be reviewed. Hope all this helps 🙂
