Wessex electrics have been given a new lease of life on the Brighton Mainline working for Gatwick Express and Southern. This video contains both photos and videos from Copyhold Junction and Gatwick Airport as well as photos on board 442423 in its South West Trains interior, waiting to be sent to Wolverton to be refreshed.

Listen to the screaming motors of 2423 towards the end, great sounds!

  • why cant that stupid lady shut up

  • @daleksvscybermen Good question, they really *should* say "Southern" but I think they say it to trap tourists into paying extra!

  • @metromuppet Gatwick Express is simply a route branding used by Southern. The company is Southern, and they run several routes, see the Southern route map, in red it says 'Gatwick Express route' this is no different to Stansted Express being operated by NXEA. This has the additional benefit that Southern Only tickets are valid, though you have to have an 'interesting' conversation with the ticket inspectors before they accept them.

  • Whats the intro song called from 0:59 to 1:09

  • Brilliant, but what's the name of the song, heard it a couple of times but I want to know what its actually called.
