🔵⚪🔴What are your memories of the Class 465? Comment below! 🔵⚪🔴

[@JamesMezzatrainboy]

I saw the NSE colours before and I guess I saw the Connex Blue and yellow once. I like the grey and purple square moquette on the 465/9s.

[@elnido4184]

In the Network Southeast pic you can externally see how different the windows are. The one on the left having more squared windows while the one on the right having more curvier windows similar to that of the 365s

[@trainsonthebrain]

Indeed, great spot El Nido. Hope you enjoyed the vid 👍 30 years now for these stalwarts!

[@elnido4184]

Fantastic video and comparisons especially with the traction motors.

[@trainsonthebrain]

@@elnido4184 Thanks! Think I may put another one out to celebrate their anniversary - watch this space!

[@CPTrains]

Very good video! Nice having these as the rolling stock I have to go on for my commute! One of my favourite things about the Class 465s are their bubble floors that I used to find often in these Networkers. High memories. Honestly I prefer the Blue interior of the Class 465/0s, Class 465/1s, Class 465/2s and the Class 466s, than the yellow Class 465/9s, as I feel it is more modern. USB ports and Plug sockets could extend their lives easily for another 10 years and I would never want to see them go, and when they inevitably go, I hope at least one Class 465 is saved. I have very fond memories of the old standard toilets in the Networkers, only found in the Class 466, as the Class 465 has an accessible toilet and a very large wheelchair area.

[@trainsonthebrain]

Thanks CPT! Yep, lots of fond memories about a wonderful class. Hopefully they live on in their different variations for some time to come!

[@mr.atomic2970]

The Networkers were and still are the most reliable commuter trains ever. I hope if the BR comes back that they use this timeless Design again.

[@Solomon_C]

No, Desiros have higher reliability figures.

[@skydiamond8705]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Solomon_Ceveryone hate desiros set because they’re replacing many beloved railway stock the desiros would’ve never existed if network Southeast was still in service by the year 2010 which the networker express and network universal and commuter Fleet came online but was traded in for Class 365 Network express

[@Eunos]

I remember seeing one of these for the first time as a Kid at Gillingham station.. It really did look futuristic considering we mainly had the Slam Doors at the time. Whilst I prefer the Class 375's for longer journeys, these still do their job pretty well :)

[@trainsonthebrain]

Thanks for your comment and also your subscription Euros! I know, these made their debuts when I was a kid and now they are the old gunslingers on the SouthEastern! I grew up in Norfolk in King’s Lynn and the near-identical 365s ran out of there - ever since then the Networkers have always fascinated me. Hopefully they’re still around for a little longer!

I also grew up in Norfolk. Near Norwich apparently.

Suggestion: do the 158 next Here's a fee facts Built ar derby litchurch lane works Still in service today(mainly in the midlands) Current operators: Abellio scotrail Great western railway East midlands railway Nothern Transport for Wales South west railway Built by british rail engineer limited (BREL) and metropolitan camel Some 158s have been converted to 159s, all are owned by south west railway,they are 3 car units Some 3 car 158 units exist GWR add half 158s units to other 158 units to increase capacity

I Really Hope That Southeastern Replace The Class 376 With The Class With The Class 484

[@marcogeurts9881]

@TrainsOnTheBrain the trainsets with the original motor sound almost the same as the NS VIRMm trainsets

[@Devkumar43072]

I like the 465s and the ones that I caught today was 465007 & 922. The contrast between them is interesting it isn't months between the age of the units but years. After I went on one of the newest of the 465s that it's the oldest on the Southeastern fleet a class 707 number 707023 Citybeam took me to Charing Cross. Anything beats the class 345s today

[@trainsonthebrain]

Excellent! It's nice we can still mix between a variety of types of the unites and fittings. Seating-wise they are by far the most comfortable way to travel around SE metals.

[@mickadile6275]

[@railwayadventureswithleigh6040]

Class 457 was originally built in 1982 as the Class 210. Basically the class 210 is a diesel version of the Class 317 EMU. The 210's would've been a replacement for classes 201 to 207 thumpers

Great video, only one mistake I've noticed is that the 465s no longer go to Ashford at all due to a major timetable change in early 2018, however, I managed to spot a rare 466 going through, which was 466016, still good video

[@cmtransportvids]

[@physiocrat7143]

Funny how time flies. It seems only yesterday that they replaced the EPB units. The EPB were all steel construction. Some were built on old Southern Railway underframes and had steel Bulleid type SR bodies. Most were on BR underframes with BR type bodies.

[@trainsonthebrain]

Indeed. Also funny how time has flied since making this video with some of the 465's being taken off the network and placed into warm storage. Time moving fast. Thanks for checking out the video 👍

Thanks for your comment Joshua. Around the time of making this video, I was lucky enough to receive a promotion at work.

[@thedumgamer2046]

Psst Afaik the 707s are replacing the newer 376 units (I know it sounds silly), which would be moved to GTR (Southern to be exact) to help relieve some of the 377/6s (or whatever the 5 car ones are) off metro services

[@trainsonthebrain]

I see! Is this confirmed do you know? Do you have a source? Thanks for the tip off!

[@cyberkid1997]

Rumours at the moment, but there are a small number of 465's that will be taken out of service due to there poor underfloor conditions when 707's are introduced

[@trainsonthebrain]

@@cyberkid1997 😭😭😭😭

[@doomotron6160]

@@trainsonthebrain There is no proof of it, it has been just a rumour going around for a few years. The 707s will not be replacing any 376s. As for replacing Networkers, the only evidence is a Southeastern KZbin video, which may or may not be accurate.

What is the First Class section like?

[@trainsonthebrain]

Well, it has a table, and it has a white piece of sheeting over part of the seat that says “first class” 😂 Apart from that you probably won’t notice much of a difference. In fairness on all of the units, they are extremely comfortable. Unless you’re partaking on a particularly long journey you probably don’t need to shell out for first class.

[@trainstrainstrains40]

Great video TrainsOnTheBrain! 😃 Very interesting video! I have travelled on these units between Waterloo East, Victoria and Orpington. Love the sound they make! (Especially the older style motor) 😊 It will be interesting seeing the new 707s coming to South Eastern soon! 😁

[@robtyman4281]

Southeastern are getting a whole load of class 707's because South Western Railway (SWR) are getting rid of them. They're replacing them with a 'supposedly' superior train, but there seems nothing wrong with with the 707's, and they have a really impressive acceleration for a commuter/shorter distance train. The 465's have aged remarkably well given they're 30 years old. They look better than the older stock on SWR.

[@trainsonthebrain]

@@robtyman4281 It’s certainly interesting - perhaps it’s a cost-saving measure because of the pandemic too in terms of releasing them to another company? The 465s certainly have aged well - I also like the 365s and particularly their new front ends to modernise them further, at least cosmetically. Wouldn’t be against them doing that to some of the 465s. The questions remains which units will they replace - will it be some of the 465s, the 375s, or none of them?! What if they just ran alongside the current fleet? Lots of questions.

Thanks for checking in Luka! As I understand it they are still in warm weather storage - so although out of service for now there are no plans to scrap them yet. I believe a couple of the 465/9 units have since come out of storage and have been running again, so could still happen with the 465/2s as well.

[@lukastrains793]

Let’s hope so! The replacement tender has been issued and it looks like the 465s will last until at least around 2028, so they have time to bring back the /2s. However from what I’ve heard they have been having corrosion issues with 30 year old sea water stuck in the body shells (the met cam body shells were built in Italy and shipped from overseas.) you can still hear the sea water sloshing about if you listen very closely in some of the /9 units!
