#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 SoutheasternThe 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.

Photo by SoutheasternThe image shows a train at a station platform. The train's front section is visible, with a white and yellow exterior and the number "465908" displayed prominently. Next to the train, a person wearing a bright orange safety vest and blue uniform is standing, resting one hand on the train. The individual has dark hair and a beard and is looking directly at the camera. The station interior is visible in the background, with overhead lighting.

Photo by SoutheasternThe image shows four people standing in front of a train carriage. The train is branded with the "Southeastern" logo in blue text on a white background, with the "200" logo signifying 200 years of the Leicester and Swannington Railway in red. Above the window of the train is the "Network Rail" logo. The window displays the sign "Chris Green" in red and white. The two men in the middle are wearing suits with ties, while the woman on the left and the man on the right are also formally dressed. They are standing closely together, smiling, and posing for the photo.
