Just a quick note to say that I will be painting this in Connex livery.

There are three reasons for this:

1) The layout they were going to run on at my club is being decommissioned in late February.

2) It can then be used on my own layout

3) I remember them in Connex livery!

Because of this change, I need to find a Mk1 to repaint for the centre car.

You have to give them credit however for making do with such old stock. Plus I liked the fact that you could open windows on the stock, compared to the modern day stock where you are theoretically trapped in a coffin...

Rumour has it that when the Southern franchise comes up for renewal South West Trains might get it. But keep that under your hat!

South West Trains' trains are fine, but there are not enough of them Evil or Very Mad

Paying full fare to scrum down to get on the train and then stand all the way to Waterloo in the morning is a disgrace in 2009  Sad

Shocked I have usually found them pretty good, especially when I visit SMSEG. Lots of space in the driving car, peace and quiet is in abundance and very comfortable seats. But then again that is travelling on a Sunday Rolling Eyes  Wink

Weekend or off-peak travelling is a treat, but rush hour is a bl..dy nightmare Sad .  Luckily I don't do it every day so I have time to recover  Wink
