Saw one a few weeks ago, think it was 450118. Was only one side of one driving coach though.

Yes that's definitely one of them, I saw it in Southampton a while back.

450112 is the other unit. They seem to have added more over time too, I saw one of the 2 units yesterday and it looked like at least 3, if not all 4 carriages had been wrapped now.

some 450s look like they are fading and need a repaint... i wonder if this is all to stall a repaint job as the SWT franchise is up for grabs soon isnt it.

I doubt it. That's a hell of a lot of 450 coaches to install the art on

...and they've stated in the original linked article that they are only doing eight carriages.

Only two units planned for the time being, and as far as repaints go I think the 444s may be in greater need, the red doors are really fading.

Agreed, the red and white of Abellio is really putting them to shame now!

450112 has all four cars wrapped. I mistook it for graffiti from a distance when I first noticed it a few days ago. It was 'Stopped' at Clapham Yard this morning. Edit - just noticed my lazy edit on the photo - straightened but not cropped.

Island Line dinos meet swt not sure it looks great tbh

They seem to be a teaser advert for the possibility of further wraps, now that I've read the small print on the bottom right of the images.

So they aren't really intended as advertising for the places shown, it's more like an 'if you want to do something similar ring this number'...

As seen in Portsmouth Harbour - apologies for the photo!
