British Rail Class 465 – china Fine-brick texture – Mosaic texture manufacturer
History of the class
How to tell them apart: The GEC Alsthom unit on the left doesn’t have cantrail height air vents, but the BREL unit on the right does. This is due to differing types of ventilation between the units.
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 GEC Alsthom, and the BREL and ABB units (465/0 and 465/1) also feature slightly different dot matrix displays on the front and rear of the train to show the route number and destination to the Met-Cam units. There are other visible but minor differences in door switches and audible chimes, window shapes and exterior panelling amongst the fleet. In addition, the two units employ different traction motors, which sound different. Despite the differences though, the units can be used interchangeably. Particularly during peak times when longer trains are used, it is quite common to see a train comprising two four car units, one from each batch. 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 166. When new, all seating was standard class.
Although the units are interoperable and can be joined together in service, the spare parts for the different units are different.
The maximum speed of the 465 units is 75 mph, and they are designed only for 750v DC third rail operation. A Solid State Traction Converter package controls 3-phase AC Traction motors, which allows for Rheostatic or Regenerative Dynamic braking. Primary braking system is Electro-pneumatically actuated disc brakes, which is blended with the Dynamic brakes. Tachometers on every axle of the unit provide for Wheel Slip/Slide Protection. A solid state Auxiliary Converter provides 110 V DC and 240 V AC supplies; this is the source of the loud buzzing noise which can be heard when the train is stationary. On a BREL the Aux Converter is located on the TOS, whereas on the MetCam there is one each on the TOS and TOSL.
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.
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.
In 2007, plans were drawn up to improve overall reliability of the BREL built units (465/0 and 465/1) by the installation of new traction equipment. The new package, developed by Hitachi Rail who are also developing the new Class 395s, brings new technological innovation to the fleet and the equipment is due to be retrofitted across Southeastern’s 97 trains over the course of 2009-2010. The first example to re-enter service sporting the new equipment is 465181, which rolled out in March 2009. Units with the new equipment are easily recognisable, because they sound radically different to those still with the original motors fitted.
All the units had some teething trouble when new, meaning some EPB slam-door stock from the 1950s was retained until 1995.
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.
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.
