Indeed we think that after today, the trailers in the 455/7s will be the only vehicles of the original PEP profile developed by BR in the 1970s still running in passenger service.

We're now available on the sky place - same handle. Obviously we would rather the sky was a good Southern Green colour over there but we'll have to settle for LNER Blue...

After 42 years today is the farewell tour for the Class 455. They have two more days in traffic this week then that is it! None will be preserved.

5712 sits in the Kingston bay, at the end of the first leg of the farewell tour. The last time one of these units will be seen here.

Well done all at SWR Help BLS Fixtures for today’s #455farewell tour: a privilege to join for some of it and chat to so many folk with lifetime connections with these suburban workhorses around London Waterloo. Between interviews, here’s my guards-eye view from our 1Z43 departure

Christmas came early for train lovers! 🚂✨ Hundreds of excited enthusiasts joined our Class 455 Farewell tour, raising over £45,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, the Alex Wardle Foundation and Railway Children. The first train sold out in a record-breaking 15 seconds! 😲

Nicely timed as 2 Waterloo-Guildford via Epsom services cross over at Motspur Park today 23/12/2025 at 16:18. Notice how much cleaner the incoming unit is that was used for the tour on Sunday!
