Farewell to Slam-door units and to Connex running the South Eastern Trains franchise...

First-class interiors of a Class 423 of (ex-Connex) South Eastern Trains, seen on a Folkestone Central-London Charing Cross service, between Ashford and Paddock Wood..

While these units have primarily been designed for suburban services, one can often see them on Kent Coast services...

First-class accommodation is only available in small compartments, not saloons.
