=$ext_southeasternrailway;?>'s first built-in-Japan class 395 "Javelin" unit landed in the country, at Southampton Docks, on 23rd August 2007.
Its first "flight" on =$ext_networkrail;?>, albeit not under its own power, was the 21+24 Southampton to Ashford move on 30th August.
395001 is seen here being hauled through Orpington station in the early hours of Friday morning. This unit wears =$ext_southeasternrailway;?>'s
new dark blue livery and the legend on the side reads "=$ext_hitachi;?>". photograph by Colin Price |
