Chasing the Class 455 Farewell Tour

- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- 14th May 2022, the very last day of the Southern Class 455 electric multiple units in operation and also the day the Class 455 farewell tour ran called the Metro Marauder which was running around London, the Brighton Mainline and the East Coast way.
The plan is to film it 10 times at 10 different locations... well 9 since one location was to be filmed twice but chasing it started off easy but became difficult which plans had to be adjusted and some shocking results.
The Southern Class 455 will be missed but there still the South Western Railway Class 455s.

Excellent video. I was actually at elephant and castle for the 455 farewell tour. The video of all the places I’ve seen the tour at is on my southern class 455 farewell tour video.
Thanks Railway Honza
The Southern 455/8s where a stage to make most of Simon but I will miss these must at admit the Farewell Tour was wild but a great memorable site to see especially with me on the Farewell Tour all the way through👌🙂
That is a memorable trip and also nice to finally meet you as well.
Brilliant video.
For years almost total ignored the 455's, but now will be sadly missed on my trips South. Hope to get the SWR services in the next few months before they are gone as well.
Thanks Yorkshire Wanderer, with the Class 701s keep getting delayed, the Class 455 for SWR should be around a little longer
I was on the tour and gave you a thumbs up at Preston park lol
I can't remember if I saw it or not but if I didn't 👍
That was a very impressive chase Simon, I have enjoyed watching, thank you for shraing. It's a shame about London Bridge, but still a well co-ordinated chase.
Lewes to London Bridge was a hard and almost impossible one to chase which I didn't knew at the time. Thanks Richard
The real star of the day was the horn because that wasn't being toned, that was being abused! And we love it!
Maximum Toneage!
I know a few asked about me when they saw Simon, unfortunately I fell ill else I would have been out on the network
Fantastic video Simon. Glad to have met you at Preston Park and Elephant & Castle.
It was nice to meet you at those locations, Thanks Manny Antipov
Great video capturing the thrill of the chase, plans changing en route and the reality of unexpected outcomes.
Thank you David it was a challenge but happy at the results.
Keep up the great videos pal...People love these ..
Thank you
Looks like you had good fun chasing the tour Simon. Excellent video.
It was a epic day Jacob, thanks
A cracking video Simon. Very well thought out and executed.
Thanks Peter, this one had to be planned out but also was planned as I went along as well.
i really enjoyed watching this one ill say this agan i will miss the Southern class 455s awesome vlog as always keep up the awesome work
Thanks Michael
A brilliant video and the class 455's will indeed be missed, the chase was chaotic indeed. I got the tour at Three Bridges. And that send off was quite a send off. And it really was a hot day that day.
Thanks Reuben, I did see you at Three Bridges as well as I was on a Thameslink service to Brighton to get off at Hassocks
I was on the class 455 farewell tour mate
Great video, that was an amazing send-off at the end
Thanks North East Lincolnshire Trainspotting Hub
I have to say what an amazing send off and a amazing video Simon I was gonna go after the tour myself but I was at work sadly but at least you enjoyed it and shame your not going to be at the opening of the Elizabeth Line but that will be more hectic going up and down that but a great video and get the SWR class 455s while you still can as they haven’t got much longer. You’ve got the class 387s from great Northern coming over the Southern and the class 379s with greater Anglia are going to great Northern as far as I know so a lot of movements happen down south and of course the last remaining class 707 will be coming over to Southeastern in the next few weeks.
Thanks Jack and looking back to this message 10 days ago, I'm happy that I did go to the opening day of the Elizabeth Line. Would had regretted not going and also nice to meet you at Paddington.
What a epic Vlog this was Simontrains and it was fantastic to see the farewell tour of the Class 455s at 10 different stations and what a send off the Class 455s got at Victoria Railway Station il agree with you they certainly know how to send a train off I must say I really enjoyed your latest Vlog especially the music it went really well with the Vlog too your confidence continues to grow and your Vlogs improve time and time again making it very enjoyable to watch too carry on being awesome keep up the good work my friend take care and stay safe
Thanks Simon83
@@Sim0nTrains your welcome
Brilliant video of these sad to be seen gone units! You should do the LNER 91s or 225 sets whilst their still in service in first class that would be great!
I think of a way to do something with the Class 91, Thanks Oliver
They'll cheer for anything they will 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A 455 at speed on the BML looks just weird
But fun as well
I now cringe at myself for starting the three cheers!! 😂😂
PMSL! Rateable Traction was better.
sad to see it go to Newport
It is indeed
I am absolutely crying right now whilst watching this emotional video of the Class 455 Farewell Tour. Will there be a farewell tour for the Class 313 Coastway trains if Southern are to start getting rid of the Class 313. As Great Northern have replaced the Class 313 on the Northern City Line and Hertford Loop line with the Class 717 Desiro City.
oh my! i love the 313’s this is sad
@@train-spotter It is very sad. 😢
There may be a Class 313 Tour on what I heard but nothing official yet.
