    Britain’s biggest train company is scrapping its most reliable trains more than a decade earlier than scheduled, and introducing cheaper trains that break down twice as often.

    South West Trains (SWT) will send 120 Class 442 carriages into storage in sidings next week despite protests by Passenger Focus, the national rail passenger watchdog.
