CLASS 375

The Adtranz/Bombardier 'Electrostar' fleet are currently under delivery to Connex South Eastern, these high quality suburban and main line sets, aimed at replacing the majority of slam door sets on the Kent main line have had many troubles at entering service, mainly attributable to protracted Railtrack safety case authorisation. The majority of vehicles had been built by early 2002 with many stored at either Derby or private sidings awaiting agreement to operate the sets.
A limited passenger service did start in mid-2001 and passenger reaction was good.
The Class 375/6 fleet are designed for both operation from 750v dc third rail and 25kV ac overhead, it is these sets which will form the domestic services to use the CTRL after opening.
