Latest news on the rollout of South Western Railway's new Arterio fleet. Not associated with SWR/DfT or any other stakeholders. This page is not monetised.








🚾 Toilets are often out of order, which is due to the new bioreactor tanks allowing significantly more usage before filling and then locking compared to the legacy fleet, causing them to run out of water before reaching a refill point. Sources say this is being worked on.


📰 SWR Arterio units have provided a significant transformation, however, in order for them to reach their full potential for passengers, work needs to be done to make strategic improvements to both overall uptime and the quality of passenger facing features. 👇

ℹ️ Interior information screens can be slow and faulty, such as stuttering scrolling text and instances of the screen freezing on white. Quality control is also suboptimal; announcements playing twice, unnecessarily shortened station names etc. Overall, an unoptimised package.
