#Southeastern unveiled a Networker train in Network SouthEast livery for #Railway 200. Named ‘Chris Green’, it honours his contribution to rail. The train will stay in service for passengers and charity tours, balancing #history and #accessibility. newsroom.southeasternrailway.co.uk/news/southea...

This photograph captures a Southeastern Class 465 train, bearing the number 465908, pulling into a station on an overcast day. The train, painted in a distinctive yellow and blue livery, is positioned on the left side of the frame, with a platform edge and tactile paving visible in the foreground. In the background, modern high-rise buildings create a cityscape, while on the right, a red brick archway, characteristic of Victorian railway architecture, frames the scene, hinting at the station's history. The image is shot at a slight angle, providing a clear view of the train's front and the surrounding urban environment.

Photo by Southeastern

The image shows a person in a suit standing on a train platform next to a colourful train. The train features a design with red, white, and blue stripes. The person is an older individual wearing a blue suit and a spotted tie, resting one hand on the train's window. The train has large windows and a nameplate below, reflecting the modern design. The platform edge has a yellow safety marking with black text, "MIND THE GAP." The train interior appears to have dark seats with headrests.
