Traction Current returned to the electrified rail/Over head lines under braking.

All Southeastern operated stock have their dynamic braking enabled and are capable of rheo and regen braking.

The recent enablement of the BREL built 465's dynamic braking had nothing to with the leaf fall season and what makes you not sure it's permanent?

Really? Only going by what a mate who works for SET told me ...

I'm going by the fact I work in the fleet technical office at Slade Green depot.

Ah fair enough then!!

Networker and E* DC units revert to rheo from regen and if rheo isn't working they don't regen in the first place.

I'm not clear if you mean cl373 when you say "E*", but there is no regen whatsoever on TMST on AC or DC lines.

E* = Electrostar

I see. Sorry, not familiar with that.

E* = Electrostar

I'd suggest we only use "E*" as an abbreviation for "Eurostar", as that's more common, in my view!

I guess you probably use this abbreviation when making notes etc. about Electrostars from day to day, but a lot of us may not!

By the way, this is a very interesting thread, and it has cleared a few things up about certain stock for me - excellent!
