The British Rail Class 465 "Networker" electric multiple units were built by Metropolitan Cammell and BREL between 1991 and 1993, and by ABB Rail between 1993 and 1994. They were brought into service from 1991 onwards. They are mostly used on suburban routes serving the South East of England, now operated by Southeastern.

Description

Network SouthEast began the planning for the development of the Class 465 in 1988, and invited a tender for 710 of the units to be built. Both manufacturers' units look exceptionally similar in design; the major noticeable differences for passengers are the lack of aircraft-style overhead air vents on those produced by Metro-Cammell. There are other visible but minor differences in door switches, window shapes and exterior panelling amongst the fleet. Class 465 units seat 344 passengers, whereas the similar 2-car Class 466 units seat 168. Both classes are based on the same bodyshell as the AC Class 365, and are also similar in design to the diesel Class 165. When new, all seating was standard class. A train in NSE livery Network SouthEast (NSE) was a sector of British Rail that principally operated commuter trains in the London area, and was formed in 1986 when BR was sectorised. ... Class 466s are two-car versions of the British_Rail_Class_465. ... Categories: Stub | Multiple Units ... Class 165/1, no. ...


Although the units are interoperable and can be joined together in service, the spare parts for the different units are separate.


The maximum speed of the 465 units is 75mph, and they are designed only for 750v DC third rail operation. Third rail at the West Falls Church Metro stop in Washington, D.C., electrified to 750 volts. ...


All units were originally supplied in Network SouthEast "toothpaste" livery, all branded "Kent Link Networker". Some units were re-liveried in the first Connex SouthEastern livery. All 465/0, 465/1, 465/2, 465/9 and 466 units are now in the white and charcoal livery of Southeastern with yellow doors. A train in NSE livery Network SouthEast (NSE) was a sector of British Rail that principally operated commuter trains in the London area, and was formed in 1986 when BR was sectorised. ... Southeast is the ordinal direction halfway between south and east. ...


During conversion for use on the outer suburban routes, a batch of 465/2 units were given an internal re-fit, including First Class seating, new moquette on the seating, new flooring and revised furniture around the passenger doors. This eliminated the original narrow glass panes in the vestibules, which were a common target with vandals. These units are classified 465/9.


All the units had some teething trouble when new, meaning some EPB slam-door stock from the 1950s was retained until 1995.
