Fabulous memories of my journeys through Kent and Sussex back in the day. Loved the slammers.

A great idea - showing the old rolling stock and bringing back memories of trains 20 and more years ago. Once the only trains were "slam door"! And that is how I remember them as a kid.

I remember the diesel electric trains on the Uckfield line having the nickname "push me pull you's"as well as being called thumpers.

I had a day off in February 2004 when we were living in England. I think I filmed almost all the slam doors on this video that day - not the actual units, just reps of the class. Happy days around Hastings...

The 421 in modern white green and black livery looks nice tbh

excellent video👍 i remember the slam door 421 watching them going through ramsgate and travelling on them i am glad they persevered some i also have been on the one at the spa valley at tonbridge West

I remember travelling cross londin when the dual voltage traibs were introduced. It was unteresting being in the pantograph coach as you could head when the pantograph hit tge overhead wires and power was changed over - they had very noisy transformers(?) which buzzed quite loudly!

Not bad selection here. I enjoyed this as it is quite informative. Thank you for fair selection of old school EMUs

the br red, white and blue was affectonatly know as the br toothpaste livery.

My dad is a Southern train driver but the slam door trains sadly went out of service before he started working there

I really like this channel, interested to see if you have any content archived from the west or East Coast way lines in Brighton areas

This is a really good video, can’t wait for part 2!! I also subbed :)

Sadly, the last day of service for the 456s was 15/01/2022. SWR have now withdrawn them from service, as with the current reduction in passenger numbers and services, they are now surplus to requirements, even though there's no sign yet of the 701s entering service anytime soon.

Great video, would be good to see a video like this on southeastern as well :) keep it up man

Great video

Cool vid

Alright mate I enjoyed that thanks, I don’t know a lot on this subject but my dad was a big southern man before he passed, there are southern books and videos and models galore at home he’s with me while I watched. Subbed.

1:55 People photographing a CIG?! Actually that looked like Dorchester South; must have been a special tour.

0:50 That Is The Anglo-Celtic Railway’s DC Live Rail Mark Stock

Cool !!!!

I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it bigger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into a High-Speed train? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford could they extend the DLR? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!! And please do something about these critical Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, the Prime Minister of Sweden, the Prime Minister of Germany, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

Say what you want about the old slammers, their seats were much more comfortable than current trains.

And all 465 now scrapped.

Weren't some of the VEPs modified as VEGs (79xx) for use on the trains to Gatwick Airport?

Could you do for swr

👍

i remember the 4 cor units racing through petersfield in the early 60s ,they were great, will you mention the 6pul units we had running between victoria and Eastbourne with a no 52 headplate,better than todays rubbish,

Add the 313s to this 😢
