5868 about to come off the pit for its planned inaugural trip, back in BR colours.

5712 parked up ready for polishing for the farewell tour.

5914 ready to head back to Wimbledon, the last unit to have a C6.

With the last 455s departed, apart from 5871 of course, some snaps taken over the years:
5871 in for a C4. I drove this unit on my 455 conversion course, as well as using it on my class 73 course for crashing…I mean coupling and propelling practice, so a great unit to save! 1/2

@PompeyDriver @itsfiveofficial You won’t be disappointed! It was a great show!

Raising awareness of SADS and placing defibrillators not only at railway stations but also in communities. Anything you can donate to this cause would be so appreciated ❤️ https://t.co/b4WH6bpGWe

Trained up on the 458/4 fleet today, joining 158s, 159s, 444s, 450s and 455s on my traction list. Just the class 73 to go!

@david_biddulph Not planned as we don’t berth them, but never say never.

Without doubt the move of the day, sees the return of the Brighton Belle' to the mainline.

@LocoServicesGrp #Class20 20132 & 20118 'Saltburn-by-the-Sea' have taken Brighton Belle cars 'Mable', Gravetye Manor', 'Doris' & 'Beryl' on a test run to Chester.

Captured by our #Crewe (@CreweHC@CreweHC) cameras working 5D41 out and 5K42 return.

A photo from earlier today just as the snow started coming down a bit heavier. A rarity for Bournemouth!

@BCPCouncil hang your heads in shame. You should be proud that this beauty is in your area !!!!! Not ashamed by hoping to demolish it !

@EastWimbledon @DaveWeb93044940 @Champs707007 Maybe the sticker fairy could source a BM sticker for the other end 😅

A quick trip on 5868 to Clapham. Last time I was on this unit was back in March at 4am, getting it ready for its first journey after repaint.
