  • South West Trains was the operator of the South Western franchise from 4 February 1996 until 19 August 2017. It operated one of the largest and most complex networks in the UK with almost 1,700 trains per day. The principal trunk line of the network is the South Western Main Line out of London Waterloo.
    This film pays tribute to South West Trains, which provided a fantastic service with a very nice fleet of trains. The film shows a busy weekday afternoon at Brookwood and Woking stations, which are both on the South Western Main Line. Brookwood is a smaller station, while Woking is a busy hub.
    On 20 August 2017, the franchise was taken over by South Western Railway.
    Enjoy!

    Brought me back so many memories!! I loved SWT! I use to travel down to Portsmouth at least twice a week with them. But since the day they lost the franchise i stopped traveling on those trains. I thought the new franchise wasn't going to be very good and it turns out there not!! So even though I haven't been on SWR I don't think there very good!!
    I would be delighted if SWT made a return. But i think we all know thats not going to happen!!

    When I was on the London eye. I always looked at Waterloo station and thought “what are those strange blue and orange trains?” Because I was from potters bar and either got on first capital connect trains which where a nice shade of blue and red or white and light blue trains which were cool as well. When I was young, those trains were strange but wonderful

    Southwest Trains was the only franchise to keep the same parent company, Stagecoach, the longest before it was lost to First MTR. Everyone still has no idea at why they lost it in the first place, but there are a few theories as to try it was lost.
    One being that the owner of Stagecoach has upset the government a few times on his actions in the past, such as Scottish Independence, and winning a court ruling against them after the financial crash of 2008.
    Sadly no one will ever know really.

    Very good video. I'm gonna miss South West Trains. That colourful spread of blue, red and white filling Clapham Junction.
    In fairness, a very similar colour scheme can be found on East Midlands Trains stock. The EM class 158's and SWT class 159's are virtually identical except for a few minor differences.
    Great video, looking forward to more of your U.K footage :)

      @DukeDudeston 6 років тому

      He has a point.
      A 456/455 combo normally serves the stopper between waterloo and woking (and is normally to make a 10 car variations to help with overcrowding)
      However that was the Semi-Fast service to Waterloo, which is normally served by 450s and they are EMUs meaning that they have to be formed of 4 coaches as each coach does a certain part in the operation of the train. And I believe that they are not compatible with the 456 units.
