They have the orange walls and low seats, but both operators are in
the process of refurbishing them, so expect changes: SWT recently
launched its first refurbished one (has Southern started refurbing
yet?).

Yes, I think it has - would this be why they have gone back to using
older trains on some services, if they have taken some out of service to
be refurbished?


On the inner suburban routes there have been slam-door trains on peak
services for quite some time as there are not enough 455s to cover the
peaks.
