The **British Rail Class 465/9** is an Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) for the Southeastern High Speed route in *Train Sim World 2*. It is the second Networker train to be added to the game, as well as the first electric Networker added.

## About BR Class 465/9

Climb aboard the workhorse of London and South East commuting with the iconic “Kent Link Networker”, the BR Class 465/9, which is ready to take power on Train Sim World 2’s Southeastern High Speed route.

Developed and prototyped in the mid-1980s, the Networker family was to be Network SouthEast’s answer to aging commuter rolling stock on various lines throughout London, namely, the Great Western and Chiltern routes, as well as towards Kent. Despite all efforts, the looming era of privatisation and the struggling economy meant the Networker program became only a fraction of its potential.

One unit that was successfully developed was the BR Class 465, which entered service in 1992 on routes out of London and into the Garden of England. There were 2 distinct designs for the 465s, those built by BREL and others by Metro-Cammell, the latter units featured different window shapes, slightly different buffers, and would go onto have cab air-con installed.

In 2005, a batch of the Met-Cam Class 465s (known as the 465/2s) were selected for extensive refurbishment, including refreshed interiors and the addition of first class, allowing them to operate outer suburban services and beyond towards the Kent Coast. These revised units were then reclassified as the Class 465/9.

The Class 465/9s have been in service with Southeastern since 2006, and have since been acquainted with a two-tone blue and white livery, replacing the yellow doors and grey stripes of operators past, and now you can experience this classic multiple unit for yourself in Train Sim World 2!

## Introduction

A member of the iconic Networker class of multiple units, the British Rail Class 465 is one of the main workhorses operating on lines east of London. With its systems largely the same as that of the 466, 365, 165 and 166, the 465's controls should be familiar to most players who have previously driven the Networker Turbo on the Great Western Express route.
