British Rail Class 701
The British Rail Class 701 Arterio is a class of electric multiple unit passenger train built by Bombardier Transportation and Alstom at Derby Litchurch Lane Works. Built on the Aventra platform, they are operated by South Western Railway, and operate services between Waterloo and Windsor, Reading, Staines and South West London suburban lines. Ordered in 2017, the trains were originally due to enter service from mid-2019, but were subject to several delays which prevented this. SWR began their phased entry into service from January 2024. They have allowed the withdrawal of South Western Railway's (SWR's) fleets of Class 455 and 458/5 units, and will allow the withdrawal of the 458/4 units.
