The Connex yellow and blue livery on the Class 365s were also carried on the 19 Class 465/0s and the rest of the Class 465s and Class 466s continued to carry the Network SouthEast livery until 2005-2007

[@zebedep]

Great video, cheers.

That Is The Anglo-Celtic Railway’s Original MK Stock (Live Rail) Even The Suburban Corridor Variants

Very informative. Hi from NZ

[@FromClaphamJunction]

Brilliant video- very informative

[@BPMR]

Thank you

Plus with 410/411/412 trains where all compactable meaning if a 411 break down in front of a 410 or 412 they can connect without any problems, yet now days companies instead of running different types of trains for example the GTR instead of running from from south coast a 377 or 378 (which is same unit and fittings) but then they chose to put the 700 unit on the route and if a 700 unit breaks down and behind it is a 377/378 (same the other way around) both trains cannot connect to each other as they have wrong connection, meaning passageners have to wait a long time for a they can get a fitting so both trains can fitted together, causing delays.

good vid, just as detailed as the southern version of this

[@lewisculverwellvlogs9789]

When the Class 375s were introduced in 2001 they were painted in the Connex Wasp Yellow door livery to replace the MK1 Slam Door Trains and the Class 365s to be transferred to WAGN in 2004 and the Class 465/2s and Class 466s first received this livery in 2002-2005 when under control of Connex South Eastern and South Eastern Trains and the Class 465/0s/1s followed with the same livery in 2005-2007 when under control of South Eastern Trains and currently Southeastern when they introduced the Class 376s in 2004-2005 to replaced the 34 Class 465/2s to be converted into Class 465/9s to replace the Class 423 Slam Door Trains and the Class 466s to replace half of the Class 508s on the Sheerness Line and the Medway Valley Line

[@bb-3653]

I've always wondered why southeastern still have not painted over that one 377 from southern..lol I see it sometimes. Well the last time I saw it was few months back . I'm pretty sure it's still green and white

[@tedlishman3876]

Lush Video. I knew of the Slam Door Units and the 365s, but never went on them. I was born in March 1994 near Lewisham which is featured in this Video, and probably had seen them in my Toddler years but don't remember, as for the Next Video I am really hoping to get more info on the Trains I've riden on, especially the 465s and 466s, Very very cool trains.

[@BPMR]

Next video is coming on Saturday. I had just started Secondary school in 1994, I kind of wish that I had started filming earlier then I did. Thank you

[@Mgameing123]

@@BPMR It’s fine. I’m really glad that you got films of Kings Cross Thameslink so be proud of that. Did you film the Moorgate branch of Thameslink?

[@bb-3653]

AHH the lovely pre WAGN 365. When they were butchered into happy faces. (I do like the happy faces, but the previous appearance was way better imo)

[@bongman123]

Why did they change the face of the 365s into the happy face?

[@ZLDSmogless]

Haha a Southern 377 with "Southeastern" hastily painted on it!

[@UnhingedNarrative]

That's 377 163, an Ex-Southern Class 377. There is also another Ex-Southern which is 377 164.

[@ace-paidinfull5240]

Wow didnt know about that 508, thought only merseyrail had 508s

[@UnhingedNarrative]

Southeastern ran them between Strood and Tonbridge.

[@ace-paidinfull5240]

@@UnhingedNarrative iSee

[@VascoRoblox-yp5rw]

why does Southeastern not get the 365 class again? That would have been a great idea.

[@BPMR]

The class 365s have now been scrapped or about to be scrapped. One survives at the East Kent Railway.

[@MrJimheeren]

Slam Doors in 1996?? Bloody hell England. Did you guys forget how to engineer somewhere between 1945 and 2000

[@BPMR]

Lack of investment kept them going.

[@lewisculverwellvlogs9789]

The Class 365 in this video looks like a Class 465/0/1

[@David-ts8zn]

365 and 465 are close to the same they are 3 rail they work on the same line and more 365 turned into 465 for the 365 overhead lines

[@lewisculverwellvlogs9789]

@@David-ts8zn But they are very different the Class 365s have First Class on them and the Class 465s don't have First Class on them and the Class 365s sound like a Class 465/2 and Class 466 and they have different equipment covers the Class 465s had original Brush Motors when the Class 365s operated on 3rd rail before the Class 365s were transferred to WAGN and the Class 465/0s/1s were converted to Hitachi Motors

[@David-ts8zn]

@@lewisculverwellvlogs9789 yes but the reason that the 365 and 465 looks close to the because out the same old 365 and 465 looks the same

[@millercool21]

465/9 has first class

[@David-ts8zn]

@@millercool21 true but I think 365 turned into 465

[@RedArrow73]

Sometimes 'urgent' is nothing more than a narrative (LIE). How often were the Slammers REALLY breaking dow on the line?

[@BPMR]

The slam doors were very reliable compared to the stock that were replacing them at the time, however they weren't deemed suitable for a modern railway due to their age, crash worthiness etc.

[@UnhingedNarrative]

11:45 *MISTAKE* - 3 carriage units, not 4 carriage units

[@BPMR]

Not a mistake, they were built as 4 car units. They ran as 4 cars with British Rail on the South Western region but were reduced to 3 car units when they moved to Merseyside. The extra carriage which was removed from the 508’s were then added to the class 455/7’s. If you look at a SWR 455/7 you’ll see that one carriage looks different.

[@UnhingedNarrative]

@@BPMR Oh lol I usually always see them as 3 carriage units in videos

[@rhock1979]

Bring the trains out ot private hands and back into public hands, as when it was in public hands everything was running how it should be, hardly any strikes and all the trains where same sort and reliable

[@OlafProt]

That Connex livery was shockingly cheap assed

[@coxallk32]

Not anymore. Govia lost this

[@Harrimoto]

Pity they didn’t loose southern too shambles and old trains

[@morfitix]

they so old

[@jaymarlon7460]

The class 777 look crap

[@nicholasr39]

Govia lost the Southeastern franchise and has been run by Department for transport and has really gone downhill under the government running it. Bring back Go Ahead/Govia
