The new South Western Railway livery is quite nice actually. I feared the worst after seeing the preview image that floated around when the franchise launched, but the end result is definitely one of the better grey/white-based liveries. I'll miss the SWT red and blue liveries, but the mainly white one was a bit on the dull side.

Many ot the 442s stored at Ekly Papworth Sidings have now been moved to Bournemouth Depot to be readied for a return to service.

The planned return of the Class 442 to service could start tomorrow with a 10 car diagram working Southampton-Waterloo-Poole.

I think they have been providing a far more reliable, albeit reduced, service on strike days than Northern or TPE - it certainly seemed to be the case when I was in London over Christmas.
