Connex Express

The film begins at Wolverton, showcasing the transformation of the class 319 EMUs before setting off to Brighton. It captures a 50-minute journey in nearly real time, with a focus on the non-stop route from Brighton to London, highlighting key points like East Croydon, Haywards Heath, Gatwick Airport, and Clapham Junction.

Connex Express provides historical context, mentioning significant events such as the tragic accident in Clayton Tunnel. This film not only documents the operational aspects of the trains but also reflects on the history of Connex, which held two former Southern region franchises in 1998 but has since lost them. The film is a nostalgic look back at the railways of that time and the distinct branding of Connex, often referred to as the yellow days of Connex.
