British Rail Class 365

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

The British Rail Class 365 Networker Express was a fleet of 41 dual-voltage electric multiple unit passenger trains, running on 25 kilovolts alternating current or 750 volts direct current, that ABB built at the Holgate Road Carriage Works in York in 1994 and 1995. It was derived from the Class 465 after the planned Universal Networker classes were not funded, and the 41 units were the last trains built at the York works before it closed. Deliveries began under Network SouthEast and ended in July 1998, with 16 units going to Connex South Eastern and 25 to West Anglia Great Northern; enthusiasts nicknamed them Happy Trains because the refurbished fronts resembled a smiling face. Great Northern withdrew the last of them in May 2021 and all but three vehicles have since been scrapped.
