Busy Night At Guildford
South Western's Class 455 EMUs soldiered on through 2023, years after they were scheduled to be replaced by the much delayed Class 701s. 455917 and 455852 waited to leave Guildford with 2D72, the 21:42 to Waterloo via Epsom, on 25 October 2023 while another pair of 455s waited in Platform 1 with the following service via Oxshott. On the closest track to the camera 450101 and 450042 had just arrived with 2P67 from Waterloo, normally a through service to Haslemere but terminating at Guildford on this occasion due to engineering work.
