They're not that bad! And this is coming from someone that has been on one (I have once anyway!)

Class 455 to Hersham

Yes, once

I sadly had to commute on them five times per week between Waterloo East and Charing Cross, as well as quite a few times between Waterloo East and London Bridge, once between London Cannon St and London Bridge and once between Bromley South and Ashford. They are pretty unpleasant.

456 to Esher

I still think they're better than the Tyne & Wear metro trains!

Class 455 to Walton-on-Thames

Class 707 to Walton-on-Thames

You must have got lucky.

I don’t think there are southbound 707 workings on that route

 

[DanNCL]

You must have got lucky.

Now changed to 455

BTW what do you mean by "you must have got lucky?"

Class 455 to Byfleet & New Haw

Now changed to 455

You must have had a fairly clean, no urine-on-the-floor 465.

450 to Worplesdon

 

[DanNCL]

Yes; though when you mention urine-on-the-floor, are you sure you're not talking about the Tyne & Wear Metro here?

Class 455 to Guildford

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Wow, you really do hate the metro don’t you!

Class 377 to Cheam

 

[DanNCL]

Wow, you really do hate the metro don’t you!

To quite an extent, yes I do. That might however be partially down to the fact that I've used them trains almost daily for the last 16 and a bit years, and quite often, but not always, they aren't clean. Of course they also have the problem of unreliabilty (it has been confirmed that they have the lowest miles per breakdown of any EMU in this country; i think even the 483s are more reliable!), and many of them also leak. I can safely say I'll be glad to see the back of them in a few years!

Class 455 to Mitcham Junction

Hmm, you travelled on it daily as a baby?

Class 700 to Wimbledon Chase

 

[DanNCL]

Hmm, you travelled on it daily as a baby?

I can't remember, though it would not surprise me if I did!

Class 455 to Wimbledon

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

I assume the first four of those words mean the same as the fifth one?

Class 700 to London St Pancras

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Well, no. If I were to translate that:

Bye,
Bye,
Bye,
Bye,
and Good Evening

(Which I changed to night).

Until tomorrow

Edit: Surely you know what Adios and Au Revoir are???

Ah, anyway.
Byeee

 

[DanNCL]

Well, no. If I were to translate that:

You can tell my knowledge of other languages is quite poor!
