The British Rail Class 465 Networker is a class of electric multiple unit passenger trains built between 1991 and 1994 by Metro-Cammell, GEC-Alsthom, British Rail Engineering Limited and ABB Rail for Network SouthEast, to replace the 41-year-old Class 415 slam-door units. Because the order was large, British Rail approached two manufacturers: the first two sub-classes, 465/0 and 465/1, were built by BREL and ABB, while the 465/2 sub-class and the two-car Class 466 were built by Metro-Cammell. The trains take a 750 V DC third rail supply, have a maximum speed of 75 mph, and use a solid state traction converter driving three-phase AC traction motors with rheostatic or regenerative braking. They entered passenger service on 1 December 1992 and work suburban routes from London to South London and Kent, now for Southeastern.
