The latest in a line of electric multiple units receiving heritage liveries before impending withdrawal, class 455 5868 has been outshopped by SWR in a compliant version of BR Blue/Grey livery to commemorate the years of reliable service the class has given. The unit is seen arriving with classmate 5901 at Malden Manor whilst working 2M71 23:00 London Waterloo to Chessington South service on 18th March 2024.
The branch line to Chessington South was the last to be built by the Southern Railway and opened initially just to Tolworth in 1938 with the full line opening a year later. All the stations on the line feature these distinctive concrete canopies designed in the Art Deco style by the Southern Railway's Chief Architect James Robb Scott.
A bit of an experiment here, as I used Lightroom's AI denoise feature which seems to have done a pretty good job at producing a usuable image from a crop sensor camera at a high ISO.
