Last Weekday of operation for class 455

[@JimJimPlays]

I think Southern do still have a few of these around - I often see them at Havant station when travelling down from London to visit the family. No mistaking their loud compressor sound

Hi Jim, ah that will be the class 313s lovely old girls to drive, sadly now long gone also

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Great footage! I’ll miss these! I’ve subbed 🙂

[@MikesMovies]

Thanks kindly

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@MikesMovies no worries

[@BadDriversOz]

Aw the poor old choo-choos! We update our rolling stock a lot more often it seems than the London Met does!

[@MikesMovies]

Our usually make +40

[@BadDriversOz]

@@MikesMovies Wow! Ours are updated every 15 or so years.

[@AnthonyFurnival]

@@BadDriversOz the irony is - even at close on 40 years old, these are more reliable than their replacements in some cases 🤣 The 455s with South Western Railway were supposed to be replaced in 2019 with the class 701… the 701s haven’t even entered service yet because they’ve had so many problems!

[@BadDriversOz]

@@AnthonyFurnival Not surprising! OUR railways are almost as BAD as yours it seems! (UNIVERSAL problem?)
