Refurbostars for Southeastern 16/5/15

A POST FROM ME. MEGA RARE!

In railway news, Southeastern's first 375, 375301 recently went to Derby for a complete overhaul. I say recently, it was around 5 weeks ago.

Direct Rail Services 57306 hauls the dead Electrostar through South Acton towards Ramsgate EMUD

Since then, the unit has had a new livery, new interior and seats, redesigned layout with a colour scheme matching that of the Class 395 Javelin units running on HS1 that they now resemble in livery. They have also had a traction overhaul too.



After running for around 14-5 years, this refurbishment was required. These units are beginning to get tired as they feel the years and the miles, and I personally think the overhaul folks at Derby have done a nice job.

And no doubt those grumpy SE commuters will still be complaining about something.
