The Class 456 was a little 2-car electric multiple unit that ran commuter services in south London. 24 examples of this class were built in the early 1990s, and had a service life of a little over 30 years, then all 456s were unceremoniously scrapped in 2022.
We've had two versions of this EMU in Train Simulator for nine years now, and this review is about the version by Armstrong Powerhouse and Waggonz which - in my opinion - is light years ahead of the (awful) default 456 that Dovetail included with their South London Network route.

Without extending every platform in South London, 10 cars are the maximum you can have on suburban services

In case you didn't know, the class 456 recordings for the traction motors have been re-used in many other AP Packs, mainly the class 37 vol 1 & 2 packs and the class 50 on their traction motor sounds, I don't know why, maybe because they where similar in sound? Whatever the reason, it's there if you didn't already know it, just crank the motor factor up and you'll hear the 456 motor sounds.

i swear in the trailer of this train the motor was from the original 455 sound pack

9:37 there were plans for NSE to extend most plattforms to 12 car lenghts , but due to limited funding it wasnt fully done and most plattforms went 10 car lenghts , and also due to the cost of capital investment , especially in infrastructure in a private system it was cheaper to just have 456 refurbished to form 10 car consists alongside 455s

I can't run that route because I don't own JT's Metropolitan Line, and I'm not sure if or when I'll pick it up.

@@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga tbh the Met line is pricey, most JT products are quite expensive now, you can run the route without it the signals won’t spawn in though.

SWT was obsessed with 10 car trains as the majority of their stations were built as 10-car stations. It's a throwback to the days of two 5-car units being coupled together. But with 4-car units, two means wasted platform capacity, but four means that two cars don't have platform access, which can be a problem during the busy peak period if people are crammed on and can't move through the train. Hence, the obsession with 10-car trains

Southern never even had 5-car units. From LSWR days to modern times, the south has steadfastly used 3 or 4+2 car units. The only 5-car units I can think of are the 5-BELs

@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga 11 дней назад

The present-day Southern does have five car units; namely the Class 377/6 and 377/7.

@@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga ah, thanks for reminding me. Tho when the 456s were introduced there still weren’t any 5-car units
