Although introduced on the former South Central division of Network SouthEast, the Class 456s had been ordered for use on the South West Division for services out of London Waterloo. Failure to introduce DOO (Driver Only Operation) meant they were redeployed upon service entry.

I am not sufficiently confident of my facts to edit the page itself - but re the livery of the trains, aside from Sir Cosmo Bonsor, I have not seen any one of these trains in anything other than Network South East livery.
- There no pictures readily accessible on Commons, google images or railfaneurope.net that show anything other than Sir Cosmo Bonsor in Connex and the rest in NSE - as the article says. The article says "from summer 2006" and an undated page on Porterbrook's (the ROSCO that owns the trains) website [1] also say that they will be reliveried. I think it is safe to leave it as is for now, it might be that the first unit is away being painted as we speak. Certainly if there is no change in a few months then we should change it.
