A class 365 Networker Express unit approaches Rainham on a Ramsgate - Victoria working. The grimy exterior condition has always been the norm on the Kent main lines, and shows how some characteristics of a particular area can survive operators. In BR days, South Eastern Division main line units were always grubby compared to the similar units on the Central & South Western divisions. The same situation still applies today; although the current incumbent 'Southeastern.' are quite a bit better than their predecessors Connex, they rarely achieve the standard of cleanliness maintained by 'Southern' or SWT, particularly with the 375/6 and 375/7 stock. For some reason the 375/9 units always seem to be cleaner.
