Networkers with yellow doors - last handful

465236 leaves Orpington with 10:10 to Victoria on 17th March 2015

Class 465s with yellow doors are disappearing fast, with the last few units going to Doncaster for overhaul shortly. In mid March 2015 only 465236, 465249, 465908, 465909 and 465934 remained in this livery, plus the anomaly of 465906 which came back from Doncaster first in a slight variation.

(above) In damp weather conditions on St. Patrick's Day, 465236 leaves Orpington with 10:10 to Victoria on 17th March. 465236 was hauled to Doncaster by 66707 on 28th March, so the above list is now shorter.
