VIDEO: Southeastern ‘spring cleans’ its trains

Southeastern has undertaken heavy duty cleaning of its trains as part of a £5.7 million improvement project.

The project involves 339 trains having their lighting, seating and toilets spruced up at three depots (Gillingham, Ramsgate and Slade Green). The ‘spring clean’ is part of Southeastern’s scheme to improve its trains and stations by October 2016.

Southeastern has also started repainting and repairing 166 stations across the country, including Pluckley, Longfield and Meopham.

    Southeastern's Class 465 and Class 466's Networkers do need a lot of refurbishment along with Southeastern's Class 375's and Class 376's Electrostars. Southeastern is a good train operator that has both Electrostars and Networkers working alongside services such as Inner-Suburban, Outer-Suburban, Semi-Fast and Direct services between London and Kent & East Sussex with Southeastern Highspeed services that is served with Class 395 Javelin trains since they first started operating domestic services from St. Pancras International to Ashford, Canterbury, Maidstone and North Kent.

    That'll be Longfield. Unless SouthEastern are now running trains in RoI, or have secretly reopened a station on the Coventry - Nuneaton line :-)
