And just like that, having ridden Class 455s all my life, this really is the last time in revenue earning service. End of an era & another childhood fleet of mine gone…

We've taken the slightly longer route to our destination via Waterloo at Austin's request. Purely so that we can ride his favourite units, the #class455 😁

It’s sad to see the demise of the class 455, a unit that has served well over the years. A BR built unit, functional, no fuss, did the job it was built for, and now slowly and quietly disappearing.

Year In Review 2024: May Pt 1✨
Busy month with spotting 68s thrashing up the Lickey, seeing a PED hit the mainline, Spanners appearing & of course the Annual SVR diesel gala visit 👏

455842 at Clapham Junction, 20/04/2022. Only a couple of short months later would the Southern Class 455s be retired... And that's now 2 years and 9 months ago now!
