First introduced in the late 1980s, the Class 442s were like
nothing that had been seen before in terms of Southern Region
electric multiple units. These stylish and sleek trains were the
first electric multiple units capable of reaching 100mph, and after
many years travelling on the old Southern slam-door stock, mostly
in vehicles that dated back to the steam era, the public's
experience of riding in one of the 442s must have been incredible.
The class served with several operators, including South West
Trains, Southern and South Western Railway. With the advent of
COVID-19 and the cutbacks to rail services across the country,
after 35 years of service, the Class 442s found themselves on the
chopping block. This book is a pictorial tribute of more than 200
images to what was, by far and away, the best electric unit ever to
have worked on the Southern Region electrified lines.
