HAPPY NEW YEAR
Although out of regular passenger services, with the last timetabled services concluding on Tuesday 23rd December - on a trip into London Waterloo today (New Year's Eve) I saw several Class 455 units as the train I was travelling on passed Wimbledon Traincare Depot.
This means that there are currently twenty four-car units still intact and some may remain operational, though in the long run future does not look bright for these trains with many already having been scrapped.
At the time of writing it is not too late to save them since I saw some parked up at Wimbledon Traincare Depot, and will not close this petition just yet, but these trains are still doomed and we need to act together.
