Class 365s were built in 1995 and were the mainstay of Great Northern suburban operations from London King’s Cross to Peterborough. A number of units still in service have been noted as having lost their branding, and it is understood 21 of the 40 units in service (365526 was written off in the Potters Bar accident) are destined for storage.
Between 2013 and 2016 the sets were refurbished at Ilford Depot.
