Not I. The thought of spending a night in surbiton wasn't doing it for me.

Says the video is not playable. Maybe because I'm using a phone or something?
It would be interesting if someone did a live stream of the last ever SWT service.

Well the franchise legally hands over in less than 1 minute. Stagecoach South West trains cease at 0159.

They've just dropped the mic on Twitter.

 

[ModernRailways]

That's it for Stagecoach.

SWT just tweeted a GIF of Obama dropping a mic. "South West Trains out"

 

[KashmireHawker]

"And that is that: the end!"

Can't find anything on youtube or periscope, was expecting it though. Hopefully someone will upload a video later.

The end of an era:cry:

South West Trains: 1996-2017

 

[AlexNL]

And they're swapping Twitter accounts now...

@SW_Trains has become @SW_help, and someone quickly claimed the original SWT Twitter handle as it became available.

 

[Thisisajm]

@sw_help

 

[LOL The Irony]

South West Trains
1996-2017
Gone but not forgotten

 

[PudseyBearHST]

Feels like only yesterday that Stagecoach were running South West Trai...oh wait

I'm sure someone will say something like this in a few months/years.

@SW_Trains has become @SW_help, and someone quickly claimed the original SWT Twitter handle as it became available.

or its a temporary holding name.

I hope so

A non warm welcome to SWR

 

[AlexNL]

National Rail's TOC page for SW has been updated. Name and logo confirmed.

 

[Thisisajm]

well there's your logo.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Twitter logo just changed to the SW Railway logo.

 

[ModernRailways]

And they're swapping Twitter accounts now...

@SW_Trains has become @SW_help, and someone quickly claimed the original SWT Twitter handle as it became available.

They'll likely be sticking with @SW_Help. Unless they are able to get hold of @SWRHelp (or have it already).

They have now lost their blue verified profile tick with the name change though.

National Rail's TOC page for SW has been updated as well.
