SWR Repaints and Refurbishments

[SouthWestMax]

That’s 444007. It was like this on 20 September, so it has almost increased in size by 2 thirds by the looks of it since then. It’s only going to get worse, especially with all the mud and dirt over winter so to they will have to do something about it..

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Five blue 450s and three white 444s left then. Delighted to see the back of the former, sad about the loss of the latter.

Surprised it's so few as it's not uncommon to see one in SWT colours. A fair few which are repainted are also covered in graffiti!

I notice some stations are being repainted again (Portsmouth Harbour Havant etc) in slightly more uplifting colours compared to the grey

Probably have most if not all done this side of Christmas then. Goodbye SWT colours, you will be missed.

SWT livery will only have gone from the Desiros. Versions will be around for a while yet on 458/5s, the diesels and probably 455s (depending on 701 introduction ).

444004 is being prepared to be repainted, and unit 450059 is nearing completion. Based of the amount of Desiros left to be repainted (7), looks like the South West Trains livery on class 444/450’s will be gone next year!

https://x.com/shunterinred/status/1738381525563986052?s=20

Exciting times up in the paintshop with just 7 desiros left to repaint (including wrapped 4040/0111 which are to be done last) 450059 nears completion and 4004 is being prepped as we speak! Not long left for the SWT livery desiros!
