## About This Content
Notice: You must own the Southeastern Class 465 EMU Add-On before you will be
able to use this add-on.
Built following the dawn of sectorisation, as part of the ill-fated Networker
program, the Class 465 was designed to revolutionise rail travel from Kent
into London replacing old 4EPB Mk1 EMU’s to provide a faster and more stylish
journey. The Class 465 fleet was constructed by BREL and Metro-Cammell (now
GEC Alsthom) from 1991 to 1993 and by ABB Rail from 1993 to 1994. The Class
465 first entered service under British Rail’s Network SouthEast sector in
1992 and are still a regular sight throughout Kent and South East London to
this day.
The Class 465 accompanied in a new era for suburban travel in Kent, being
operated particularly on the metro lines out of Charing Cross towards Dartford
and Victoria to Rochester. With a top speed of 75 mph, quick acceleration and
braking (including wheelslip protection), the Class 465 was without a doubt
the perfect addition to the aging infrastructure and even brought with them
many track and signalling upgrades to the lines they ran on.
Two major variants of the Class 465 exist, those built by Metro-Cammell, the
Class 465/2s, differed in design from the BREL (465/0) and ABB (465/1) models.
Despite the differences between them they can interchange in operation
resulting in quite the orchestra of traction motor sounds when departing a
station.
Since entering service, the Class 465 has seen some modifications; all
variants featured a design change to the buffers as the original flat design
proved to be too popular with thrill seekers, trespassers would often stand on
them and hold onto the handrail or windscreen wipers. The new design is curved
which prevents people standing.
A number of Class 465/2s were sent to be refurbished in 2005, these
refurbished units would be better equipped for longer haul services with First
Class being the major change. These units were reclassified as Class 465/9s.
Being a product of British Rail that has survived to this day, the Class 465s
have seen a number of livery variations which have provided an interesting
look to Kent and South East London for many years. After the fall of British
Rail and Network SouthEast services were taken over by Connex, despite this
many units were not re-painted into a new livery, resulting in the
‘toothpaste’ colour scheme being visible well into the early-to-mid-2000s.
Even until recently there have been odd variations in design, however most of
the Class is now brandishing Southeastern’s Blue Stripe livery.
Today, the Class 465s are operated by Southeastern across many of the more
suburban lines out of South East London, namely the North Kent Line into
Dartford and Strood. They are also frequent traction on the Chatham Main Line
from Rochester and Gillingham into London Victoria.
