The historic arrival of the first
Japanese built train for passenger service in
the UK. On 23 August 2007 the first driving
car for Class 395 No. 395001 sits on the
rails at Southampton Docks after arrival
by ship from Japan. This was the first of 29
six-car trains for use on the UKs first high
speed line - HS1 from London St Pancras to
Ashford.

he fleets of modern electric multiple unit
trains, might not be the desire of every
enthusiast, but these trains form a very
important part of our railways prime job of
transporting large numbers of people every day on
the rail system.
This issue of
Modern Locomotives Illustrated
looks at three breeds of modern EMU, the Network
SouthEast-ordered 'Networker' fleets, the post-
privatisation Alstom 'Juniper' platform and the first
Japanese multiple unit fleet to operate in the UK, the
Hitachi-built Class 395 'Javelin'.
The three main sub-classes of the 'Networker'
family were ordered by Network SouthEast, under
the control of Managing Director Chris Green, to
replace the aging EPB type slam-door sets on the
South Eastern suburban routes. Built jointly by
BREL/ABB and GEC-Alsthom (before the 'h' had
been taken out of the name), in both two and four-car
form. Originally these were only for SouthEastern
lines, but as little new investment was available for a
different design of train, a follow-on order for outer
suburban/main line Class 365 sets emerged.
After privatisation in the mid-1990s, the major
effort was to replace the remaining slam-door
multiple units and several of the key builders
produced state-of-the-art sliding and plug door
designs. GEC-Alsthom came up with the 'Juniper'
platform, which attracted orders from South West
Trains, Gatwick Express and ScotRail. The Scottish
sets remain in traffic in their original form, while
the Gatwick Express and South West Trains sets
have recently been reformed into five-car sets to
strengthen South West Trains services.
When rolling stock was ordered for domestic train
services over the UKs first high speed route from
London to Ashford (HS1), various 140mph (225km/h)
train designs were considered, with the winning bid
coming from Hitachi in Japan. Seeing this company
break into the UK train market, which of course has
since seen huge orders for InterCity Express Project
(IEP) trains placed, these will be the subject of a
future edition of
MLI.

y the 1980s, the then British Rail Southern
Region was in desperate need of
replacement stock on its South Eastern
suburban and outer suburban routes, where
the 1951-design EPB fleets were still the main
traction.
With the formation of Network SouthEast
(NSE) in 1986 as a separate business unit, led
by Managing Director Chris Green, new rolling
stock and fundamental changes in the London
area rail operation was on the cards.
NSE drew up plans for replacement South
Eastern stock throughout 1987 and in 1988 went
out to tender for the fleet. Funding was sought
for 710 vehicles, but by the time orders were
placed this was reduced to 674, formed as 147
four-car and 43 two-car sets.
At the time, under the British Railways Board,
dual sourcing of major assets was still considered
the best option and the original order for 100
four-car sets was split equally between British
Rail Engineering Ltd (BREL) Class 465/0 and
GEC Alsthom Class 465/2, while the order for
two-car sets was awarded solely to GEC Alsthom
- Class 466. During the course of production
a follow-on order was exercised with BREL
(by then ABB) awarded a contract to built the
remaining 47 four-car sets classified as 465/1.
BREL sets were constructed at York Works,
with production carried out from 1991.
The GEC Alsthom sets were built at the old
Metro-Cammell works in Washwood Heath,
Birmingham, with production running
simultaneously with the York products.
The four-car sets being produced by two
different builders saw some slight changes
between the fleets. The major noticeable

To smooth the assembly process at BREL York Works, a pre-production Class 465 'Networker' driving car body shell was fabricated in late 1990, setting
up the main assembly jig, which became known as the 'Minster Jig', this massive structure held together the floor, side, roof and end preformed sections and
allowed very accurate aluminium welding to take place. After passing through a new paint shop, the pre-production car numbered 46500P is seen inside one of
the assembly bays on 15 February 1991.
