South west trains have aimed to get 10 carriage trains to run out of London Waterloo by lengthening the currently 4 carriage class 458 trains on the reading service to 5 carriages with the currently disused and similar class 460 carriages originally for the Gatwick Express services. This will result in 10 Carriage running on the reading line (2x 458’s) then the transferred class 456’s from southern will be Paired with 2x class 455’s to complete 10 carriage running in the suburban london area. The entire 24 class 456’s will be transferred to South West Trains from Southern in 2014.
The newly lengthened class 458’s will be repainted into South West trains Blue livery. (The same as class 450’s)
