Class 455

Southern version refurbished 455829 enters Clapham Junction on the 19th
April 2005 with a Caterham bound service. In the opinion of the
photographer the front end of the 455/8 series was never pretty and this
refurbishment has not improved matters!

The first two of South West Trains refurbished 455s, 455711 and 455904 (seen here)
were painted with original pattern SWT "swooshes" in blue and orange and
black framed cab front windows.

However, subsequent units to emerge from
refurbishment at Chart Leacon have featured a "swooshes" modified to
wrap round the cab window. Whilst this might mean one less colour to
apply the photographer thinks the earlier version looks best.
