Southern Class 455 Farewell Tour: The Metro Marauder

The 15th May timetable change saw the retirement of Southern's fleet of Class 455s. The previous day, the 14th of May, the Branchline Society ran a farewell railtour: The Metro Marauder! This video hopes to show the highlights of that railtour, as well as what is was like to be a passenger onboard, for one last ride! All money raised from the event was donated to Mind in Croydon: https://www.mindincroydon.org.uk/ Footage of the train passing Balcombe: ‪@TaylesTheTrainspotter‬ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro & London Victoria 1:09 - Departing London Victoria 3:05 - Epsom 3:34 - Onboard Shop 4:37 - Billingshurst 5:08 - Horsham 5:24 - Three Bridges 5:57 - Balcombe 6:32 - Haywards Heath 7:03 - Loops Around Brighton & Hove 11:48 - Lewes 12:13 - Three Bridges (again!) 12:50 - Interview with Chris Fowler 14:01 - Selhurst Depot Tones 14:29 - London Bridge 14:47 - Charing Cross CHAOS 16:25 - Tulse Hill HEAT 16:45 - Blackfriars 18:03 - Sevenoaks 19:13 - London Victoria & Outro
