This was the special launch of the refurbished Class 458/5 units, with the press invited and members of the public allowed to look around the 10-coach train (2 units). After the display there was a special non-stop 1305 service to Windsor & Eton Riverside where again the press and members of the public were welcome on board, in fact it was advertised on the station concourse.
There are a few interior differences compared to the old Class 458 The same type of seats are used but are in a 2+2 configuration with single seats nearest to the doors. Extra handrails are added and First Class is removed.
