Photo of 4-Car electric multiple unit, Class 365514 'Networker Express', nicknamed the 'Happy Train', in First Capital Connect livery, stands in Ely station, Cambridgeshire.

The unit's fly-blown cab front is testimony to the considerable mileage that trains such as this clock-up during normal operational services.

The Class 365 'Networker Express' electric multiple units were built between 1994 and 1995 at Holgate Carriage Works, York.

Incidentally, the 365s were the last train units to be produced at the works before it closed in 1996.

The entire fleet of 41 sets were in mainline service from 9th December 1996, with 21 sets operating at present (2020) by Great Northern trains.

Class 365 Thameslink EMU News Update:

Due to much lower numbers of people travelling on Great Northern services out of King's Cross, due to the COVID crisis, Govia Thameslink Railway is scaling back its services.

As a result of this, Thameslink's fleet of 21 Class 365 EMUs are to be withdrawn in May 2021.
