    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.

      I'm also surprised they were getting scrapped so soon

    Are there no plans to open the 'High Level' line?

      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.

    Gee, that shot of Crystal Palace at 2.40 is a real time capsule.

    I really like the Southern 455/8s. At least SWR still has the Class 455/7, 455/8 and 455/9.

      Ian is right, they are being replaced soon by the 701s when they enter service

      @@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.

      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.

      No replacement stock, just a reduction in the timetable
