South Western Railway class 455 EMUs - 30/05/25
The 455/8 series were first built in 1982, and the ex-class 508 trailer coaches that were added to the 455/7 series date from 1979/80. So I believe that the class 455 units might now be the oldest multiple units in service on the British railway network.
This video features South Western Railway class 455 electric multiple units, with specific mention of unit 455868 in British Rail blue and grey livery, which was not in service during the recording. The footage includes locations such as Clapham, Clapham Junction, Effingham Junction, Guildford, Kingston, and Waterloo. The class 455 units, originally built in the early 1980s, are noted as potentially being the oldest multiple units still in operation on British railways.
