Your welcome , I love the class 442s :)

[@williamwebb6178]

The Class 442s have now been permanently withdrawn by South Western Railway and will be replaced by refurbished Class 458s which will be transferred from the Reading line and reforming them from 5 to 4 coaches and re-rated to meet the need for 100mph operations and other modifications to associate them for Mainline services to the South Coast

[@williamwebb6178]

I was also reading that the Class 442s that would had needed more modifications and had to be compliant and to be fully accessible by 2024 to meet Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM)
