- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2024
- The SWR Class 458s have a very colourful history. They have been withdrawn, brought back to service, refurbished and strengthened to 5 coaches, withdrawn pending the fate of their future.
But the juniper lives on! Being reverted back to 4 coaches and having their maximum speed reinstated to 100mph, the class 458 has once again returned in a new form!
Finally they are back, i knew SWR wouldn't just let them rot!
I take it that the Class 458/4s will operate to Reading and Windsor & Eton Riverside. Very nice.
They are (at the moment) operating on London - Weybridge via Hounslow diagrams, but that could change in the future
True. Would be nice to see them on the Alton line.
The 458/4 looks smart
They do!
and it finally change the speed to 100mph
The original gear to motor ratio mind you
@@bb-3653 ?
So why did they change them back to 4 coach’s from 5?
When SWR had plans to run them on mainline duties alongside the 444s and 450s so they could run 12 coach lengths - in theory at least!
Two reasons, to run in 12 car. And also to make them lighter so that they hit 100mph easier
