Thanks very much, I'll miss them too. They are such underrated EMUs, its a shame Southeastern didn't take these. The bugged out announcements on these always get me, though I miss the old 'The door buttons are now activated' ones back in the 458/0 days.
@@CHOO-CHOOPlane yes I miss that a lot as well, especially when it got the stations wrong! One time when it got the wrong and the guard had to explain what was coming up, when he got to Winnersh Triangle (which the train was due to run through fast as it was an evening peak service), he said, "Winner Rectangle"!
Lucky that you managed to get 458535 before it was stopped in Clapham Yard and out of service for nearly two years (It came back around June 2022 I think). In my opinion 535 is the loudest and nicest sounding of the lot
It's lovely how they're being used again. The old terminal is about to become a shopping mall, and will include more ways of getting on the Underground.
@@trainspottersouth Sadly no operator is taking on the 458/5s. Southeastern were to take on these but took on the 707s instead. I do think the 458/5s could go to Scotland since they have a similar fleet of Junipers
Those are amazing Alstom Coradia Juniper trains, Its a shame they replaced it with South Western Railway. These trains sound exactly like the 334's we have up in Scotland. except they have pantographs, and they are smooth.
