A Class 455/7, painted in Network SouthEast livery is seen approaching Surbiton. The former Class 508 TS is the third vehicle from the front, identifiably by its lower roof section. The revised and more pleasing front end style with the rounded roof line improves the general look of the series. CJM

With its former Class 508 TS as the second vehicle, Class 455/7 No. 4734 is seen at Guildford and shows the present SWT livery worn by many class members. Nose end equipment consists of a main reservoir pipe on each side and a control jumper cable/socket. CJM
