Gravesend Networker - I
Still looking smart in its original Network Southeast colours, Networker EMU 465 154 draws into Gravesend station. The privatisation and break-up of British Rail was well under way at this date, and Gravesend and the North Kent services duly fell under the aegis of Connex South East. This French-controlled franchise managed to antagonise its customer base even more than the nationalised British Rail. Financial irregularities led to Connex South East being stripped of the franchise in 2003.
