The Fall and Rise of South West Trains' 458 Units

Interior Details

 

I hope the following interior detail shots will be of use to historians and modellers alike. I have endeavoured to cover most aspects but inevitably there were some aspects I was unable to capture or the photo was too poor a quality to illustrate the point.
If you have any good quality photographs that fill the gaps, please contact the webmaster.

Note that the passenger information display was only one eight items of non RVAR compliance.
