These are probably the most prevalent south England's units that will be remembered for sure. Mk3s are already treasures..but these...BOY along wide the 321s and 319s were something that will be in alot of our memories .
I been to the Metro Marauder and it was fantastic. I wish we didn’t come to the time where the 455s are going out of service, I thought they were going to be around for much longer, as they went through a recent refurbishment. It’s like how trains die, when heading for scrap.
If your referring to the Crystal Palace High level then no. Most of it has been built on over the years, although you can walk from the site of Lordship Lane towards Sydenham through the woods.
@@BPMR I am well aware of the Class 701's entry and the 455s retirement. I was actually going to edit it and put that there. But yeah, it is going to be replaced. You have until September - December to catch one.
I actually went on the Railtour known as the metro marauder and boy... it was the ULTIMATE TRIBUTE to this legendary class of EMU
Great video. I will miss the class 455s.
Thank you

These were childhood memories for me , even remember them on connex and NSE at some stages when I was around 3 and 7 yrs old

I'm also surprised they were getting scrapped so soon
It is the end of an era
Yep
Are there no plans to open the 'High Level' line?

Gee, that shot of Crystal Palace at 2.40 is a real time capsule.
Why's that?
Rip 455/8
The liveries looked pretty fresh in 07 didn't they. ?
👍
I really like the Southern 455/8s. At least SWR still has the Class 455/7, 455/8 and 455/9.
Not for much longer, this year they will be replaced.
Ian is right, they are being replaced soon by the 701s when they enter service

Yeah they are going In autunm sadly ..I won't be suprised if 701s take even longer to come into service l
I reckon the Class 376s and Class 377s will replace the Class 455s on the Southern services
In Dallas, TZ, this station would be called, "Infomart".
The Infomart is a direct rip off of CP's architecture.
Which train is replacing it?
No replacement stock, just a reduction in the timetable
@@BPMR so does this mean no more service from Beckenham Junction to Peckham rye and ldn Bridge/Victoria?
@@jmg3471 beckenham junction service has 377s now
Southern Class 455
