Sadly? I'd love it if 450s replaced some of the trains up North!

450 to Ascot? (I have no idea here!)

Oh god no, they’re so boring!!!! I’d rather go on a 153, 156, 185, that sort of thing like what you have, especially the latter.

455/7 to Brentford

I'd agree with a 185 or a 156, but a 153?? o_Oo_O They possibly have to be the worst DMUs that this country still has; Pacers are better! And in practice a 185 is basically a diesel 450 with a different cab and interior. ;)

Class 456 to Clapham Junction?

I know but it’s the interior that I like of a 185 compared to a 450!

Much nicer in many ways.

455/8 to Ewell West

I'd definitely agree with that; the refurbished 185s are particularly good (they also put Northern's "refurbishment" to shame)

Class 455 to Wimbledon

Nope - the daily 707 on the Lime has been reverted to 455 use for some weird reason so we remain at Walton.

450
to Havant
