Class 360/1
Greater Anglia 360101 at Manningtree in December 2017
First Great Eastern ordered 21 four-car Class 360/1s to replace its slam-door Class 312s. Built in Krefeld Germany, the units feature air conditioning, plug doors, CCTV, a wheelchair area, and first class at the cab ends. After being tested at the Wildenrath, Germany and Velim, Czech Republic test tracks, the first entered service in August 2003. In February 2004, 360115 returned to Wildenrath for tests aimed at improving pantograph performance. They were primarily used on Great Eastern Main Line services from London Liverpool Street to Clacton-on-Sea, Colchester Town and Ipswich.
