Southeastern News |
| New Class 375 Livery Variation |
 |
Southeastern has, of late, become reknown for its livery variations on Class 465/6 and more recently Class 395, but now the first class branding on Class 375 units is being changed. Here, left, the existing branding consisting of narrow cantrail yellow stripe, circular sticker on the window and bold lower case "first class" lettering. Note the variation in colouring on this lettring is a photographic artifact of the reflective vinyl lettering. |

The new version on a unit with the fading midnight blue lower band. Broad cantrail yellow stripe, no window sticker, finer lower case "first class" lettering with a white "1" on a blue patch It is probably far more complicated than this. The three different elements might not be changed at the same time. It has been noticed that many window stickers have been removed without the other alterations. photographs taken at Faversham by "GB" |
Thameslink Key Output Zero - Southeastern 375s on loan to Southern |
As part of the cross-industry co-operation to permit the new Thameslink timetable to be introduced on 23rd March despite a shortage on new Class 377/5 units, Southeastern have loaned three Class 375/9 units to Southern. These are working the 07:33 Brighton - London Bridge & 17:47 London Bridge to Bognor services. They stable at Streatham Hill between the peaks. Initially 375905, 375921 and 375924 were the units loaned. |

The same three Southeastern units remain in service with Southern as they have received modifications to their passenger information systems and have been fitted with Southern route maps and safety information. However they spent a night back on home territory - at West Marina - between 25th and 26th April. It is believed they received a heavy clean there. They previously returned to Ramsgate 17th - 18th April for maintenance. |
