Ford assaults Javelin - cleared for service

Congratulations to South Eastern for starting Javelin services six months early.

Whilst the official taster services won't commence until the 29th June, today saw a special run for hacks and others of the great and good.

The inaugural run from St Pancras to Ashford also saw the new class 395 fleet formally christened when the Chief Thumper, Roger Ford, undertook the traditional ceremony of "Assaulting the Interior Trim".


He pronounced himself satisfied.

Pity there are no power sockets though.

CORRECTION: This from the Major...

If The Fact Compiler hadn't been so busy elsewhere he might have noticed that the power sockets are between the seat by your knees.

Just check it's okay with the nice lady in the adjacent seat before plugging it in...
