CLASS 465 & 466 'Networker'

The three fleets of 4-car and one fleet of two car Class 465 and 466 sets, identified as 'Networker' stock were ordered by Network SouthEast as part of their kent suburban modernisation programme. the fleets entered service from 1991 being built in aluminium at both ABB and GEC-Alsthom. the four car high density sets were a totally new design to the former Southern Region south London network and were a massive improvement for the passengers, replacing the 1951 and 1957 design EPB stock.
All sets are allocated to purpose built depot and maintenance facilities at Slade Green near Dartford. When built the 'Networkers' were finished in NSE livery, but today with the fleets operated by Connex the house colours of this operator have been applied to some sets.
The units are driver only operated, with all passenger accommodation in standard class open vehicles.
