Questions regarding the first privatised rail service Sunday February 4th 1996



Firstly shows a slam door train at Southampton with a caption 0510 to Twickenham then also states it was indeed a slam door train.

I always thought it was a class 455?

Technically, the first privatised service was the early morning Fishguard service - which was cancelled and passengers given a couple of Taxis

I thought the first privatised service was Eastleigh to Southampton which, because of scheduled engineering works, was replaced by a coach!
