Description
Recently Southerns last remaining ex - ScotRail Class 171 - 171201 received a long overdue exterior refresh alongside the other Class 171s which had theirs in late 2021 (2cars) and early/mid 2022 (4cars). The unit had been in Selhurst T&R.S.M.D. for a whole month after being taken out of service on the last day of August to undergo the new lick of paint and exterior refresh.

You may ask, what’s different? Well, not that much, but the Southern logos have been updated to have the white font, and the yellow front has been redone along with the numbers. But the livery has remained the same.

In this video we see 171201 (about a week on from returning into service) at South Croydon as it heads towards London Bridge.
Filmed on a Panasonic HC - VX1EB camcorder at 4k 25fps.
