SWR Refurbished Class 444 - Standard Class Review (Portsmouth to London)

SWR Refurbished Class 444 - Standard Class Review (Portsmouth to London) Hello, and welcome back to another train trip report. Today I am travelling with South Western Railway on one of their recently refurbished Class 444 'Desiro' units, on a pleasant journey from Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo, the busiest station in the UK for passenger usage.

For this trip, I travelled on the Portsmouth Direct Line, from Portsmouth Harbour, through to Portsmouth & Southsea, then onwards to Havant, the major junction of Guildford, before speeding towards London on the South Western Mainline after Woking.

This route can have two types of train, the one I used in the video (the Class 444) that are very nice trains and appreciated by the locals, or the much maligned Class 450, which suffer from cramped conditions due to 2+3 seating. I was quite lucky in this regard.

In my opinion the Class 444 units are very high-quality trains, capable of providing an atmosphere that exceeds the quality of many new InterCity trains. Watch the video to see why!
