The British Rail Class 466 Networker is an electric multiple unit passenger train built by Metro-Cammell at Washwood Heath between 1993 and 1994 for the Network SouthEast sector of British Rail. All were sold to Angel Trains as part of the privatisation of British Rail, and they have been operated by Network SouthEast, Connex South Eastern, South Eastern Trains and Southeastern. The two-car units are formed of a driving motor standard open carriage and a driving trailer standard open carriage with lavatory. A solid state traction converter package controls three-phase AC traction motors, and the units use air-operated sliding plug doors. Since 1 January 2021 the units can only operate in multiple with Class 465s.
