Having left Ramsgate depot on Saturday 11th April 2015 in Southeastern white/grey/yellow livery, 375301 returned from Bombardier at Derby, refurbished and in Southeastern blue livery, five weeks later on Saturday 16th May. It is pictured here, hauled by DRS 57306, passing Paddock Wood. Note that contrary to speculation the position of first class accommodation has not moved and its markings are highly visible. The wheelchair accessible area is marked by bold maroon markings and bright light blue has replaced the violet shade in Southeastern's pallette for doors and logo. The body side "door open" indicator lights have had blue masking left on in these shots.
