455739 with VERY loud motors

[@hoonami139]

I will be traveling to the UK in October, Really hoping these are still around by then, will keep a lookout for this particular one

[@UKTransport232]

Ah nice, yeah 455s should still be around then, you can always use realtimetrains website and enter the unit number in the quick search bar if you're looking for a particular class 455 unit.

[@reimztrains2024]

Hellfire and such a beast, I’ve also been on other really loud 455 units.

[@UKTransport232]

Indeed, the whole fleet are underrated IMO

[@AnthonyFurnival]

She sounded amazing! I do love the 455s - i still think with all the work they’ve had done just ten years ago, getting rid of them makes no sense.

[@UKTransport232]

Yeah, they're brilliant and certainly underrated by lots of people

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@UKTransport232 definitely!

رحلة ممتعة 😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@UKTransport232]

Yeah, thanks for watching :)

South Western Railway Class 455

[@UKTransport232]

yes

[@LokiAvivson]

5856 is also loud!

[@UKTransport232]

Yeah I heard

[@southern.spotter]

nothing compated to a 319 or southern 455 tho

[@UKTransport232]

Definitely louder than southern 455s, 319s eh probably about the same, although I'm told 319012 is much louder

[@C455]

clearly never heard 319012

[@UKTransport232]

not in person no, i know 319012 is loud but you can't put this train down, if you rode this in person you'd realise how loud it is.

Sorry to poo poo on your fireworks a lil bit but from personal experience of riding all 455's that are in public service as of right now (but 722 and 850), I'm sorry to say this isn't the loudest 455, it is top 10 worthy though. Here is the top 5 loudest 455's from personal experience, which btw, I've ridden them all multiple times, 1.) 455723 2.) 455703 these 1st 2 can easily be changed around, depending on how they are on the day, but from my most recent experience, 723 is a tad bit louder, my train lover friend whose done them both more recently than me also agrees, also 723 stalks me aswell so yay 3.) 455856 - this is the most screwed one of the bunch, but as of right now isn't its best, it has been better, but still top 3 worthy 4.) 455852 - from what my friend said about it after getting it on Saturday, this is nearly on par with 856, and from experience in December, it is a very loud one 5.) 455729 - this one is also going through a bad phase, but its still loud as hell, its best period was September last year when it was the loudest one Those are the ones that are definitely louder than 739, and ones you should look out for, but there are also a few others I want to mention, 1.) 455715 - this is a very good one, loud, but going through a bad phase 2.) 455867 - also very good, these 2 can be swapped around aswell, pretty equal to 715 tbh 3.) 455710 - this one is best at speed but very above average everywhere else 4.) 455911 - this one is also best at speed, but seems to be going through a bad phase aswell as of now Those are all the ones I can think off that are definitely loud, I may have missed some, but from what I can see I don't think I have, also look out for 455727, 731, 737, 904, 916 and 917, those are also very good

[@UKTransport232]

Wow that's quite impressive. I think i partly based this off comparing this unit to other trains, it beats 317343 and 319457 for definite, and those two units seemed to get maximum attention in the past for their loud motors. I've clearly ridden nowhere near as many 455s as you, but for me this seemed far better than any of the previous 455s i've caught. Thanks for the info anyway, i'll look for these units when i'm next on SWR.

[@gmproductions1590]

@@UKTransport232 you're welcome, and yes for sure this gives 317343 a run for its money, when it was still around of course, but I haven't gotten 319457 so I wouldn't know what thats like, only gotten 319370, 219, 217, and 214 319's wise and 769424 769's wise which btw is extremely loud

[@gmproductions1590]

@@UKTransport232 also I forgot to mention 723, 856, 852, 727, 731, and 737 are all louder up (the bit where the roof comes down a bit and the luggage racks dont go all the way to the end), the rest I mentioned are louder down
