AN UPDATE TO HERE (ONE) AND THIS (TWO), REGARDING EX- GATWICK EXPRESS CLASS 442S WHICH ARE CURRENTLY (OR ARE SOON TO BE, AS ARE STILL AT GE) GOING INTO STORAGE.......                                                                                                 As previously reported, Class 442s have gradually been going into storage following the arrival of Class 387s. Angel Trains, the leaser of these units, will undertake an overhaul on the fleet though to give them a lease of life. Well, since that announcement, Alliance Rail Holdings has proposed to launch a Southampton to London Waterloo service from December 2017, to compete with the current demand for services in the region, using this fleet of refurbished Class 442s.
