With the news of the withdrawal of 455717, my favourite member of the /7 subclass, I threw this together, the 455s has a couple weeks left at most, so here’s my favourite of each subclass, (45)5916, (45)5871, and (45)5717, it angers me that so far no attempt seems to have been made to save a /7, it brings me joy 5871 is preserved, and it depresses me that 5916 has now joined many of its siblings in complete obliteration, but, with the 455s gone, the flag is passed on to the 319s, but with the final 3 hanging in the balance and certainly not in service, that really just leaves the joyous Networkers, later maybe the 769s, but let’s enjoy the time we still have with these grand old units!
