Looks great on all there units they currently own, But looks awful on a Class 465 (Lucky they have not got none!). Can't beat Network SouthEast toothpaste livery, suits the Class 465s well.

Saw this on the local gen list just now:

465235 now refreshed with dark purple and black pattern seat covers and shiny floor looks very clean and smart

Anyone got any photos?

MR JEFFERY

465235 does not exist! It was converted to 465935 in 2004!
Carriage 65235 is not in any 465 units - tut tut Chris ;) Its 465019 I believe. And yes, southeastern are allowed to paint but frankly cant be bothered at the minute, hence the state of the 375s

I remember one of the SE incarnations, possibly the SRA-run service, removing one bank of seats to make 2+2 seating in one carriage of the a Networker to evaluate passengers' reactions. They were distinguishable by the same maroon seat covering as the 365s.

I'm not sure if this same unit later became one of the 465/9s or if it reverted to standard layout.

014 back in the Connex days. The set was really unreliable, so it spent most of the time out of traffic at Slade Green since 2001 with one or more things wrong with it! It even caught fire at Sevenoaks in 2007 (by now it seems it was re-fitted with 2+3 seating). I rode it a couple of times in the year 2000, saw it a few more times the following year, then never saw it again!

Also worth mentioning, 465037 was the prototype class 365 unit, it was put on display at Waterloo in the early 1990s. It was even re-numbered, becoming 465301 and was fitted with First class accommodation, tip up seats (to allow the refreshment trolley to be stowed when not in use) and public telephone facilities. I've read in old copies of "The Railway Magazine" that the unit has travelled up and down the ECML, attached to a class 317, to check for clearances!

There used to be a brilliant website describing how Networkers worked, it basically answered every question about them! Sadly the webmaster decided to close it down not long after the July 2005 terror attacks.

A little bit more information which appeared on the same Gen list today for anyone who is interested:

465 235 was out and about Friday: refurbished is a rather generous description. New cushions and back pads, interior panels cleaned and resprayed, maybe some panels replaced, new window surrounds, probably new window glass, new PIS scrolls and that's about it! Floors look as though they have been washed and polished with the stuff we pour on our community hall floor, spread it with a mop and let it dry. Heater grills untouched - still foot-scuffed as before. Exterior just as shabby as usual. Except for the new cushions, the 465/0s and 1s had this much done to them when they were cleaned up in 2006-7.

Sounds like it's had a rather thorough refresh, would be good to see some pics ... Who knows, it might find its way onto the Sheerness Branch sometime soon ... If it does, I'll try and get some pics uploaded.

I sincerely doubt it.

Hope they're more comfortable than the 375/9s though ... :|

I really hope so, but doubt the refurbed ones will be up to the same standards as the Class 375/9s.

Reading the RM today, the midlife over-haul includes.... Bogie overhaul, Jumper cable change & overhaul, overhaul of air-conditioning, Electrical over-haul, door system will be over hauled and a repaint is planned too. It is planned the whole fleet will be completed by February 2012, with each unit taking ten working days per unit. This only mentions the 465/0 and 465/1s, so what about the 465/2s?

Don't forget the /0s and /1s are being turned into Javworkers ....

If 465235 has been refreshed, then its more than likely than the other /2s will be done at some point in the near future.

True, so the other 465/2s should be refurbed too.

I'm just going to make the most of the Original Class 465s while I can now! :)

The Full Details:
The Class 465 fleet are being refreshed with a new interior. Both Classes 465/0 & 465/1 are being refreshed at Railcare, Wolverton and Classes 465/2 & 466 are being refreshed at Wabtec, Doncaster. All trains will receive new flooring, retrimmed seats in new moquette and repainted handgrips & sanchlions. Class 465 235 is the first unit to be refreshed by Wabtec Rail, Doncaster. Class 465 019 is the first unit to be refreshed by Railcare, Wolverton.

The Class 465/9 fleet are to receive a heavy interior clean, at Southeastern's Gillingham depot, along with a retrim of the seat moquette, as the colours are beginning to fade.

I'm posting this from 465235, I will take a couple of pictures of the new seat covers. Not much is different to be honest. The new covers are purple. Will upload the pics soon.

It's gonna be a shame to see the old NSE seat moquette go, there can't be many units with it on anymore!

Is 465235 a work in progress? If not, can't say the flooring or handgrips are showing much improvement!

I haven't uploaded all the pics I took, I've just found one more to upload that shows the vestibule and the doors. I'll upload to the Fotopic soon.

Prize to anyone who can guess where we were as I took the picture! :P

Here's the picture:
