The British Rail Class 395 Javelin is a dual-voltage electric multiple unit (EMU) passenger train built by Hitachi Rail as part of the Hitachi A-train AT300 family for high-speed commuter services on High Speed 1 and elsewhere on the South Eastern franchise.[9][10] The whole fleet is operated by Southeastern.

The Class 395 can operate at a maximum speed of 140 mph (225 km/h) under 25 kV AC overhead electrification on High Speed 1, and 100 mph (160 km/h) on 750 V DC third rail supply on conventional lines. It is typically formed as a six-car train, although they can be rapidly coupled to one another to form a 12-car train as required. The type, which was entirely manufactured in Japan, is the first Hitachi-built rail vehicle to be sold to a European customer,[11][12] as well as being the first British order for a Japanese train.[6] The fleet was ordered during June 2005 by HSBC Rail, and was delivered to the UK between August 2007 and August 2009. Following the completion of 4,000 miles (6,400 km) fault-free running six months ahead of schedule, a 'preview' service was launched between London St Pancras and Ashford via Ebbsfleet on 18 June 2009.[6] These were gradually expanded until the commencement of the full regular service on 13 December 2009.[3]

The use of the high-speed trains as part of the transport infrastructure for the Olympic Park formed part of the original bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[13][14] The service was named the Olympic Javelin, which formed the origin of the Javelin nickname.[15] The Olympic services began 28 July 2012.[16] Furthermore, the Class 395 has also been irregularly operated for charter services – though the first such uses did not happen until after the 2012 Olympics due to a lack of free units.[17]
