The British Rail Class 707 Desiro City is an electric multiple unit passenger train. Siemens Mobility built 30 five-carriage sets, initially leased by South West Trains. SWT's franchise successor South Western Railway began phasing them out from September 2021.[8] Twenty-eight sets are now in service with Southeastern having been transferred from South Western Railway by late 2023, with two sets remaining at South Western Railway.[9]
