    Today, I am requesting that the class 465/0/1 is added to TSW4.

    What's the difference between the Class 465/0/1 and the Class 465/9 you may ask?
    The Class 465/0/1 is equipped with Hitachi traction motors which are similar sounding to the Class 395.

    External variations are found upon the 465/0/1 such as Pressure Ventilator grilles on the body, new under-carriage equipment and the front of the train.

    The 465/0 and /1 have Regenerative Braking (compared to the 465/9 which in real life have them permanently isolated). and the window surrounds look slightly different to the /9.

    The 465/0 and /1 also have no first class compared to the 465/9.

    Class 465/1 at Tonbridge

    Overall, its a tad more than just a sound modification but hopefully it is still worthwhile!

    That brings us to the end of my suggestion. Thank you for reading. :)

    Would certainly add some variety to the Southeastern route!

    Would be best saved for a new route such as the Chatham Main Line into London Victoria, instead of as another DLC for SEHS.

    It could even be backdated with the original BREL/ABB factory-fitted motors for an NSE era route running alongside slam door stock.

    Just on a petty side note, even the 465/9s do not have First Class anymore as SouthEastern abolished 1st Class travel earlier this year! As a Southern Region Electrics enthusiast myself, I'd like to see the subclasses, but it would take some time to model them all. The 465/2 was also the first subclass to feauture on TSC, and it wasn't until the original Chatham Mainline that we saw a BREL 465/0 and even that was very poor until AP released their enhancement pack.

    We can hope? But in TSW we seem to get one sub class variant at a time... I think the only time a real 'subclass' has been feautured is when we got the Northern version of the 323, giving us both the Northern and WMR versions with all their minor differences.

    do you know why they're isolated at all? surely that's something you want

    They were isolated due to the function being quite temperamental.
