Class 455
455/7 were built as 3 car units and use TSOs that were used with class 508 and thus have a much different roof profile. |

In this picture of 5721 taken at Clapham Junction on 8 April 2000, the
different roof line and windows of the former 508 trailers formed into the
455/7 sub class can clearly be seen.

As at January 2000, Southwest Trains operated all of the class 455/7 & 455/9 and 28 units of 455/8. Connex SC operated 46 units of 455/8 numbered 5801-5846. |

From time to time EMUs on the South Central have appeared in a pale grey
colour without any company liveries, originally because of problems with the
first style of stick-on yellow stripes and later where they were been required
for traffic before a re-paint was complete. Here is class 455/8 unit 5832
emerging from the darkness of London Bridge in January 2002.
