Interior of a standard class saloon. Although the tables feature prominently in this shot, there are only four per car - i.e. all as seen here - the remainder of seating 2+2 being airline style. photograph by Brian Morrison |

Further Driver Training |
|
 |
Since the press launch at Brighton, 2414 has been used for driver training in Sussex. Here it awaits departure from Hampden Park on 2nd December 2008. photograph by Colin Watts |

The new Southern / Gatwick Express incorporating use of Class 442 units during the peaks involves shunting moves at Three Bridges. Driver training for these has been taking place most Tuesdays and Thursdays using the Gatwick Express "thunderbird" locomotive 73202 "Dave Berry" traveling down from Stewarts Lane.
