South Western Railway Class 455 trains withdrawn after 43 years

Profits from the farewell tours were shared between Macmillan, The Alex Wardle Foundation and Railway Children.
More than 900 people joined the tours, and a second train was added after tickets sold out in 15 seconds.
The Arterio trains offer features such as Wi‑Fi, accessible toilets and increased capacity, although they entered service five years later than scheduled.
When in regular operation, the Class 455s served routes across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire and south‑west London into London Waterloo.
