  • Today I went and rode the last 2 Class 707 units left on South Western Railway with Wyatt. Due to South Western Railway ordering new Class 701s to replace all of their suburban fleet, the 707s had to find a new home so they were given to Southeastern who really needed the new fleet of trains as they still had an aging fleet of trains not replaced yet.
    The unit numbers I rode on were:
    707024
    707030

    Loved the video - nice arty shots - looked like you had a good day out - surprised you weren’t roasting in your jumper though!
    The toot on the train at 0:05 sounded like a kid’s toy! 🤣
    Thanks for sharing your experiences.

      Haha, yeah the horns on the 707s sound a bit like robots (and kids toys) thanks!

    Great video about the class 707s Zack , they are great units. Will miss seeing the last 2 Red ones on the SWR as I liked the SWT red on them

      Yeah it’s sad to see them go but in my opinion they are better of on SE’s network as, these trains are a giant upgrade to those 465s and 376s, but i agree they do look good in SWT red and they are some of the last survivors with the nostalgic SWT seat moquette

      @@ZackMurray12 I agree they are a giant upgrade to the 465s and 376s , the 707s are lovely trains , love that there is lots of space on them to for passengers. I think I saw you on the 1938 tube stock last Saturday when it passed Rayners Lane in my video when I was filming it at different stations along the line

    Nice one! I think the blue livery suits the 707s a lot more than the SWR one as well

    Do you use Realtime trains sometimes?

    Do you do collabs?

      Not at the moment, I haven’t updated the description in a while, (which is where it says I do collabs) and at the moment I’m not to open to doing collabs at the moment :) sorry
