4Vep

The history of  the 4Vep

The Bournemouth electrification scheme authorised in September 1964 required the construction of new rolling stock, that for the fast and semi-fast services being of a novel type incorporating push‑pull operation, and these were the Bournemouth ‘1966 stock’ known as 4 REP (powered) and 3 TC and 4 TC (trailer) units, most vehicles for these units being converted from Mark 1 loco‑hauled coaches. However, the stopping services on the newly electrified lines, none of which proceeded beyond the end of electrified lines at Branksome, required a more conventional type of unit, based on the successful ‘1963 stock’ design 4 CIG and 4 BIG units recently introduced on the Brighton line. Twenty units of a new type known as 4 VEP were ordered (along with the REP/TC stock) on 30th April 1965 for the commencement of the new services from July 1967, these also being ‘1963 stock’, the principle difference between them and the earlier 4 CIG/4 BIG type being higher density seating layout with side doors to each seating bay, and the first class compartments being located at the inner end of each driving trailer whilst a larger luggage van was also provided. The units were newly constructed, to the ‘1963 stock’ layout with a Driving Trailer Composite (DTC) at each end flanking a Motor Brake Second (MBS) and Trailer Second (TS), and construction was split with the driving trailers being built at York, the centre vehicles at Derby, this being done to speed construction as York works were busy doing the conversion work to Mark 1 coaches for the REP and TC units as well. Unit 7701 was released from Derby to Stewarts Lane on 18th March 1967, and these units started to appear on tests from April 1967 and all except the last were delivered in time for the inauguration of the new Bournemouth service on 10th July 1967, the units being numbered 7701 to 7720 and painted in all‑blue livery with small yellow panels on the cab ends, matching the REP/TC fleet. The first units went into traffic, running with 2 HAP units from 8th May 1967, units 7702/05/06 being in use.

Further units were ordered however on 21st October 1966 before any of the first batch had entered service, a further batch of thirty-five units (7721 ‑ 7755) to replace the 4 LAV units on the Brighton line, this batch, and all subsequent units being entirely constructed at York, and these units were delivered as a continuation on from the first batch, entering service from October 1967 through until July 1968. They were however finished with full yellow cab ends. Though ordered as 4 LAV replacements, not all were delivered to the Brighton line, some entering service on the SWD, and one, 7739, never entering service at all in its intended formation due to one DTC being used for cab signalling tests and other vehicles being used, along with disbanded 7741/2 to form a temporary 8 VAB buffet unit due to problems with 4 REP availability. There were minor electrical differences between the motorcoaches of these two batches. Units from these two batches had underframe lifting lugs low down near each end which projected up into the lower bodysides, these were not provided on all subsequent units built.

A further batch of fifty 4 VEP units were ordered on 12th January 1968 numbered 7756 ‑ 7805, these being delivered from February 1969 through to January 1970, almost identical to the second batch of units, though apart from the first five, there was another minor electrical change to the motor coaches, and this batch was subsequently increased by a further ten units ordered 23rd June 1969 (7806 ‑ 7815), these units enabling a start to be made on the withdrawal of the 2 BIL and 2 HAL units, the new units working on both the South Western and Central divisions. The final ten units followed immediately from the previous batch of fifty, being delivered between February and April 1970, and one, 7808, was finished in blue/grey livery as an experiment. Once again these had a minor electrical change to the motorcoaches.

Two further large batches of units were subsequently built, the first of thirty-eight units ordered 14th October 1969 (7816 ‑ 7853) quickly followed by forty-one further units ordered 22nd March 1972 (7854 ‑ 7894), these units being delivered in one series from May 1972 until June 1974. These batches entered service painted in blue/grey with further minor electrical differences and the last batch were fitted from new with handbrake micro switches, some of the first and many of the final batch being delivered to the South Eastern division, the first going into service there from 7th May 1973 displacing 2 HAP units, some of these being downgraded to 2 SAP configuration and used to replace some of the oldest 4 SUB units in the suburban area. The delivery of these one-hundred & ninety-four units, operating throughout the Southern Region, along with the later batches of 4 CIG units enabled the complete replacement of the 4 LAV, 2 BIL, 2 HAL, 4 COR, 4 BUF, 4 GRI and 6 COR units and a start on 4 SUB replacement to be made.

Units up to 7815 had a raised aluminium BR logo fitted to each cabside, these being removed at first repaint and replaced by the more usual transfer placed lower down on the cabside, the first twenty units all received full yellow ends with all-blue livery at this stage, the last to run with a small yellow panel being 7711 repainted in November 1970. Window frames were unpainted when new, a few were overpainted blue and all later grey during subsequent repaints, the first unit to be painted into blue/grey being 7743 in January 1971 and the last all‑blue unit 7740 being repainted blue/grey in December 1972.

Electrical equipment was similar to that of the 4 CIG and 4 BIG units, though units had conventional handbrakes in each cab, not the electric parking brakes fitted to the early Brighton line 4 CIG/4 BIG stock. Trailer vehicles were mounted on B5 (S) bogies, motor bogies being to the new Mark 6 type, the springing on the trailer bogies differing slightly from the similar bogies fitted to 4 CIG/4 BIG stock as expected passenger loads would be greater with the high-density seating layout. Motorcoaches carried similar equipment as those on the 4 CIG/4 BIG units and four EE507 motors were again fitted, though there were minor differences to the 4 CIG/4 BIG version. Units were allocated to Bournemouth, Brighton, Wimbledon Park and Ramsgate depots for routine maintenance, though later Fratton and Eastleigh both gained allocations as well. Heavy overhauls were carried out at Eastleigh and bogie exchanges and electrical overhauls at Chart Leacon. Some repainting of units and other unprogrammed maintenance also took place at Selhurst and collision repairs at Slade Green when necessary. As delivered, units had sliding ventilator windows fitted above each large sidelight, but these tended to leak and become stiff to operate and all were eventually sealed closed, each door still having an opening droplight for ventilation. Units had orange curtains fitted from new, hanging halfway along each large sidelight, these tended to become discoloured by contact with leaking sliding vent lights and were removed from units from 1978, though curtains were retained in first class compartments. Units became Class 432 under the BR computerised TOPS numbering system in 1972 though initially no renumbering took place, and this code was revised to Class 423 by 1975.

Three units, 7739/41/42 were disbanded when new to allow the formation of 8 VAB unit 8001, (Class 480) this unit consisting of four DTCs, three MBSs and a modified loco‑hauled RMB vehicle, this leaving several vehicles spare. Unit 8001 had three MBSs to maintain the faster 4 REP schedules as it was used on Bournemouth line semi‑fast services, it could be divided into five and three car portions, very occasionally operating as such, and also ran in multiple with other 4 VEP units, though not with TC stock as it was unable to supply heating and lighting current to these units. It lasted in service from 1967 to 1975 when units 7741 and 7742 were reformed, damage to other units meant that 7739 could not be reformed as some of the spare vehicles had been used as accident replacements and it never ran in its intended formation. Bearing defects (which also affected some 4 CIG units) led to several units being stored out of use, often for some months, between mid‑1974 and the end of the year.

Heavy luggage traffic on units used between Victoria and Gatwick Airport led to unit 7755 being experimentally modified in May 1973 with a number of seating units removed and replaced with luggage racks. This was judged a success and twelve units, 7788 ‑ 7799 were modified, though in a different style from 7755 (which reverted to normal) in 1978 and reclassified as 4 VEG units (Class 427) and renumbered 7901 ‑ 7912. These were replaced on Gatwick services by cascaded Mark 2 loco‑hauled stock worked push‑pull by Class 73 EDL locomotives and a converted former 2 HAP MBS rebuilt as a luggage van (GLV) during 1984 and the 4 VEG units resumed their former identities once again.

The first unit (7850) to be painted into the new Network SouthEast livery appeared in July 1986 and all units were progressively done over the next three years or so, the last in blue/grey, 3002, being painted in NSE colours in February 1990. Units were renumbered from June 1987 as 3001 ‑ 3194 as part of the TOPS classification, their full numbers being (42)3 001 to (42)3 194 though only the last four digits were displayed on cab ends. This renumbering took over a year to complete however, the last unit to run with its original number, 7827, being renumbered from 16th September 1988.

Like the 4 CEP and 4 CIG fleets, it was felt necessary to improve the interior of units with the provision of fluorescent lighting and fitting a P.A. system and units started to be facelifted from early 1988. Some, but not all, units had their generous luggage space reduced during this facelift and a new 18 seat saloon was fitted into part of the former luggage area, these units being renumbered at works in a new series upwards from 3401/3421 in order of shopping. As the first twenty units had originally had some blue asbestos insulation in the floors of the York-built vehicles, these units were kept grouped together as 3401 ‑ 3420, the others becoming mixed‑up in former number order. The modification work on the brakevans of motorcoaches meant these vehicles were out of traffic for longer than the trailers so a float system was created and units having the brakevan modification usually emerged with a different MBS to that with which they entered. Some units were facelifted without this modification however, and were not renumbered, these units being further modified during their next works overhaul when again the MBS was usually exchanged. The amount of first class accommodation was also reduced, initially on units allocated to the SED with one compartment, that adjacent to the second class saloon, being downgraded. However, later downgradings were of the compartment at the end of the coach adjacent to the toilet, and the first version units were modified to the later pattern during works overhauls, where the seating was rebuilt so each downgraded compartment seated eight instead of the six previously. During 1993, units on the SED started to have a further compartment also downgraded, this being the one adjacent to the earlier one, leaving two first class compartments towards the centre of the coach in vehicles so modified, these downgraded compartments did not however have the seating rebuilt and still seated six rather than eight, all later reverting to first class once again.

Due to clearance problems being identified in Oxted tunnel, a restriction was imposed on units working through this tunnel from May 1989 resulting in all units allocated to Brighton having their droplights restricted to open only about four inches or having window bars fitted across those with no interior doorhandles. This restriction then reduced the amount of inter‑divisional transfers of units between the former Southern Region divisions, and complaints about excessive temperatures in hot weather saw a programme started to further modify CD units with alternate windows opening fully and fitted with window bars.

Units were all built with AWS equipment fitted, those on SWD having this made operational from mid‑1975, those allocated to CD and SED having this equipment isolated out of use until about August 1981. All units were equipped with a headlight mounted low down in the nose end gangway door from about 1991, all being done by the end of 1992. Seating moquette in all units as delivered was to the blue check pattern which became known as ‘Bournemouth Blue’ as it first appeared on the first batch of twenty 4 VEPs also the 4 REP/TC stock built for the Bournemouth electrification. A few of the first twenty units were reupholstered with the older style ‘Trojan’ grey seating due to a shortage of blue during their first C1 overhauls. Later, units began to receive NSE ‘Stripy‑Blue’ seating and all were eventually fitted with NSE ‘Blue-Blaze’ seating material.

Though actual units were moved between depots fairly freely, the amount allocated to a particular depot remained fairly constant, though there was some exchanging of 4 CIG and 4 VEP units between Fratton and Wimbledon Park, however Fratton closed to EMU maintenance in May 1990 and the allocation, along with that from Bournemouth was transferred to Eastleigh, the former DEMU depot being used. Subsequently, from January 1991 Eastleigh concentrated on 4 CIG and 4 BEP units and the 4 VEPs moved again to Wimbledon Park.

UNIT DESCRIPTION

All 4 VEP vehicles were built to Mark 1 standards with an all‑steel body being mounted on a standard 63′ 6″ underframe, vehicles being 64′ 6″ long over bodywork and 9′ 3″ wide over commode handles. Trailer coaches were mounted on BR 5 (S) bogies, motorcoaches on Mk 6 bogies. Each unit had two identical Driving Trailer Composite (DTC) coaches, one each end, these having the standard ‘1963 stock’ style cab fitted at the outer end, as in 4 CIG/4 BIG and 4 REP/TC units. Behind the driver’s entrance vestibule was a four-bay saloon with side doors to each seating bay. Seating was arranged five‑a‑side with an off-centre gangway dividing seating units into three and two aside units. At the cab vestibule end two sets of two‑aside seats were fitted each side of the communicating door, whilst at the other end of the saloon a four-seat unit was fitted against the partition which formed the inner wall of the first-class compartments. Free standing seating units were all fitted with an overhead luggage rack, the only cantrail level racks being those above the seats mounted against the end partitions of the saloon. A swing door divided this saloon from a side corridor that led along the remaining length of the coach past the four first class compartments, this corridor being to the nearside when the cab was leading and the off-centre gangway was also offset to this side. The open saloon seated thirty-eight second whilst each first-class compartment seated six giving a total of twenty-four first. Each first-class compartment had an access door whilst there were two access doors on the corridor side, one opposite the second compartment from the saloon end, the other opposite the lavatory at the extreme inner end of the coach. At the inner end of the coach was a lavatory, located on the offside and the corridor kinked round the lavatory to gain access to the central gangway to the next coach, a sliding door was fitted here to close across this gangway. This coach was 64′ 6″ long and weighed 34 tons and was to diagram number 458 (units up to 7755) and 459 (all subsequent units).

The Trailer Second (TS) was one long ten-bay saloon with similar seating arrangements to those of the saloon in the DTC vehicles and total seating was ninety-eight second. Each seating bay again had side door access and the offset gangway was to the nearside when this vehicle was the second coach in direction of travel. Again, the vehicle was 64′ 6″ long and weighed 31 tons and was to diagram number 474. Swing doors were fitted at each end of the saloon to close across the gangway to adjacent vehicles.

The Motor Brake Second (MBS) consisted of a six-bay open saloon, identical in layout and fittings to those in the other coaches of the unit, this seating fifty-eight. The remainder of the vehicle was occupied by a guard’s compartment, adjacent to the saloon and towards the centre of the vehicle, and a generous 26′ 0½” luggage area at the other end of the coach. A side corridor passed alongside the guard’s compartment and luggage area, sliding doors (two in the wire mesh screen of the luggage area) and a further one for the guard’s compartment. An inwards opening door was fitted each side by the guard’s area, that on the corridor side blocking the gangway when open. Two pairs of outwards opening double doors were fitted along the luggage area and again the corridor kinked round at the coach end to line up with the centre gangway into the adjacent TS vehicle. This coach was marshalled with the luggage end at the centre of the unit against the TS. Electrical equipment fitted to this coach was similar to those of the 4 CIG/BIG unit motorcoaches with the usual EE507 250hp motors, MG set, two DH25 compressors and emergency batteries all being mounted below underframe level. As a result, this coach weighed 48 tons. It was to diagram number 880 (units up to 7755) and 881 (all subsequent units). The offset passenger gangway in the saloon was to the nearside when this coach was second in direction of travel.

Each 4 VEP unit therefore seated forty-eight first and two hundred & thirty-two second and weighed 149 tons and was 265′ 8½” long. Shoegear was fitted to the two outermost bogies beneath the driver’s cabs, there being none on motorcoaches. Passenger access doors at each seating bay were all fitted with doorlocks with an inside catch handle, except those in the corridor section of the DTC vehicles. Windows were fitted from the outside and had an external frame as a result.

 

UNITS 7701 – 7720

This first batch of twenty 4 VEP units were those ordered specifically for the stopping services on the newly electrified Bournemouth line in 1967 and were to LOT numbers 30758 (DTCs), 30759 (TSs) and 30760 (MBSs). This batch were the only ones not built entirely at York works, the MBS and TS vehicles being constructed at Derby. They were finished in all‑over blue livery and were the only units delivered without full yellow cab ends, these being blue with white unit numbers and a yellow warning panel on the cab nose end door. Newly built driving trailers were moved from York to Derby to be formed-up into units there prior to delivery to the Southern Region for commissioning at Stewarts Lane? Unit 7704 was one of the first delivered, being noted at Clapham Junction on 5th April 1967, whilst 7701 was displayed at Waterloo on 10th April. A few units were loaned to the Central Division at Brighton in October/November 1967 for driver training and used in traffic, units 7704/12/15 at least, being involved. All were repainted once in all blue livery, gaining full yellow ends and losing their cast aluminium BR double‑arrow symbols, unit 7707 being the first so treated in May 1969 with 7711 the last in November 1970. All then received blue/grey livery at their subsequent repaints in 1971/2. The motorcoaches had a facility enabling one motor bogie to be isolated in the event of a motor fault, this was not possible with later units and was subsequently removed from these units in a modification programme at Selhurst during 1975. Units 7706/08‑12/16/19 were reupholstered with grey ‘Trojan’ moquette during their first C1 overhauls between May 1973 and February 1974 due to a shortage of the usual ‘Bournemouth Blue’ material, though all reverted to normal at their next overhauls, (unit 7706 was misformed when overhauled and its TS vehicle was not reupholstered however). The AWS equipment on these units was brought into use during 1975. The presence of blue asbestos insulation in the floors of the York built DTC vehicles meant that vehicles from this batch have nearly all been kept together in the lowest numbered batch of units during subsequent facelifts, though there have been a few exceptions to this.

These vehicles were allocated design codes from new, these being the basic codes for all subsequent units with additional suffixes to denote electrical changes in later vehicles.

Release dates of driving trailers from York Carriage works were as follows: –

7701 11-Feb-67 [1] 7702 18-Feb-67 7703 25-Feb-67 7704 4-Mar-67 [2] 7705 18-Mar-67

INDIVIDUAL UNIT NOTES

During 1986 and 1987, this batch of units were subject to reforms during a programme to remove the blue asbestos contamination in the floors of the DTC vehicles. A float of two spare DTC cars were used, vehicles 76340 and 76690 being utilised, these being formed into units whilst their own DTC cars were asbestos stripped at Eastleigh, the reformed unit then proceeding to works where it was reformed back to original and the MBS and TS vehicles were then also overhauled to match their DTC cars, and the two float DTC cars were transferred to the next unit for treatment. As a result, several units ended up with their DTC cars marshalled at the opposite ends. Footnotes for these two vehicles are not shown in the preceding tables, 76340 having the standard FB code, 76690 being FB‑1A and diagram 459. Both are marked with a * symbol however.

UNITS 7721 – 7755

  This batch of units were delivered immediately following the first from October 1967 until July 1968 and were ordered to replace the 4 LAV units on the Brighton line, LOT numbers being: 30771 (DTCs), 30772 (TSs), 30773 (MBSs). Unit 7722 had arrived by 2-Oct-67 with 7721/3 following by 11-Oct-67. The first 4 VEP working on the Brighton line commenced from 16-Oct-67, initially using ‘borrowed’ SWD units, units working the 07.42 Brighton to London Bridge, the first of the CD’s own units going into traffic the following week. Not all these units went directly to the Brighton line, some being used on the SWD instead, units 7721 ‑ 7724 being loaned to the South Western in December 1967, unit 7723 returning by May 1968 with the other three soon afterwards. Three units of this batch, 7739/41/42 did not enter service but were used in the formation of 8 VAB unit 8001, this unit surviving in traffic until 1975 when units 7741 and 7742 finally entered service. Unit 7739 however, never ran as such as some of its intended coaches, spare on the formation of 8001, were subsequently used to replace accident damaged vehicles in other units. This batch were delivered with full yellow ends and had slight electrical differences from the first batch, the MBS design code being EB‑1A. Units allocated to the SWD had their AWS equipment brought into use during 1975 (initially 7732 ‑ 7749) whilst those at Lovers Walk had this equipment isolated until 1978. AWS fitted units had their BR design code amended from EE3.65.0A to EE3.65.4A when these were allocated. Many of the earlier units of this batch were repainted once in all‑blue livery, but those from 7743 upwards went blue/grey on their first repaints. All were subsequently renumbered into the 30xx series.

7755                From May 1973 this unit was the subject of a seating layout experiment to provide additional luggage accommodation for passengers travelling between Victoria and Gatwick Airport. Each passenger saloon had alternate seating units on the two‑aside side of the gangway removed and replaced by luggage stacks. Each DTC lost two sets of seats, the MBS three and the TS five, reducing their second class seating capacity to 30, 46 and 78 respectively and reducing the unit total from 232 to 184. These modifications were carried out at Stewarts Lane. Unit 7755 was then usually used on a special diagram between Victoria and Gatwick only, though it still visited Brighton for maintenance. This experiment was considered partly successful as twelve units were later also modified with additional racks (though to a different arrangement) from May 1978, these becoming the 4 VEG units. Unit 7755 reverted to normal seating layout about May 1977. This unit (with 7756) the subject of a further experiment in late 1978 when all the saloon sidelight windows were modified and the former sliding vents at the top were removed and replaced by large one‑piece windows.

UNITS 7756 – 7805

 These units were the first of ninety-eight units built to replace the 2 BIL and 2 HAL units, ordered in three batches of fifty, ten and thirty-eight, this batch being to LOT numbers: 30792 (DTC), 30793 (TS) and 30794 (MBS). They were virtually identical to the second batch of units though, apart from the first five there was a further minor electrical change to the motorcoaches resulting in their design code being EB‑2A. The diagram numbers of the DTCs and MBSs also changed, though there was no change to the layout of the vehicles, possibly due to the omission of the underframe lifting lugs on these units ?. All were new in plain blue livery with full yellow ends, all being repainted blue/grey on first repaint. Release dates of coaches from York Carriage Works are known (up to unit 7773) and are listed below. Units entered service from February 1969 through until January 1970 and dates to traffic are shown below the unit numbers. Their first diagrammed workings were on the Waterloo to Portsmouth line from 3rd March 1969 replacing 2 BIL units, though units 7756 ‑ 7758 went to the CD and replaced the last 4 LAV units. Units 7759 ‑ 7763 went new to the SWD, and later units were allocated to Streatham Hill though units 7771 and 7790 both went into traffic briefly on SWD when new. Twelve of these units, 7788 – 7799, were renumbered as 4 VEG units 7901 – 7912 in May 1978, all reverting to their original numbers again in May 1984 when displaced from the Gatwick Airport service. By early 1981, units 7760 – 7783 were allocated to the South Eastern division and some of these started to have one first class compartment in each DTC downgraded during 1984, units 7763, 7770 and 7775 at least being done, before all of the Ramsgate allocated units were transferred away, and the compartments altered back to original.

Dates of release of coaches from York Carriage Works (week ending dates) are shown below: –

MBS 62266 out of use with electrical defects Feb-86 to Apr-86 and temporarily replaced by 4 CIG MBS 62379 (ex damaged 7391). In this form unit seated forty-eight first and two hundred & thirty second.

UNITS 7806 – 7815

 This small batch of units was a follow‑on order from the previous batch of fifty, also for 2 BIL/2 HAL replacement, and these were delivered immediately following the previous batch. Again there was a slight electrical modification to motorcoaches, the design code for this batch being EB‑3A, though the first unit, 7806, had some experimental heating equipment from new and its code was EB‑5A. These units were ordered to LOT numbers: 30799 (DTC), 30800 (MBS) and 30801 (TS) and were the final batch delivered in all‑blue livery with raised BR double arrow symbols on cabsides, though unit 7808 was delivered experimentally painted in blue/grey livery. All the remainder were repainted blue/grey on first overhaul. Units 7807 ‑ 7811 went into traffic on new diagrams on the Mid‑Sussex line displacing further 2 BIL/2 HAL units, being briefly stored at Barnham after commissioning.

UNITS 7816 – 7853

 Following the completion of unit 7815 in early 1970, construction of new 4 VEP units was suspended whilst the later batches of 4 CIG and 4 BIG units were built at York and the final batch of thirty-eight units ordered to replace the 2 BIL/2 HAL fleets did not start to be delivered until the middle of 1972, these units following immediately after the final 4 CIG unit to be built. This batch were the first 4 VEPs (except experimental 7808) to be delivered in blue/grey livery and they were used to replace the last 4 COR units in traffic. These were ordered as LOT numbers: 30811 (DTC), 30812 (TS) and 30813 (MBS), and again had slight electrical differences to the earlier batches resulting in further design code alterations. The final few units of this batch, from 7841 upwards, were the first to be allocated to the South Eastern division, entering traffic there from 7th May 1973. The following peak hour trains were the first to be turned over to 4 VEP operation on the SED:

07.20 Faversham to Cannon Street. 07.52 Newington to Victoria and 07.50 Paddock Wood to Victoria with corresponding evening workings, 17.00 Victoria to Faversham, 17.49 Victoria to Newington and 17.52 Victoria to Paddock Wood.

The South Eastern allocation was later expanded so by 1985 when units allocated to the SED started to have a first class compartment downgraded, units 7838 upwards were all affected by this change, the innermost compartment adjacent to the second class saloon being the one downgraded. In some cases, the seating was rebuilt to seat four-aside, the DTCs now seating forty-six standard and eighteen first class, giving a revised unit total of thirty-six first and two hundred & forty eight standard.

Dates to traffic are shown below the unit numbers.

UNITS 7854 – 7894

This final batch of 4 VEP units followed on immediately from the preceding batch, many being delivered to the South Eastern division where they displaced 2 HAP units, these being downgraded to 2 SAP units and used in the Suburban area to start to replace the oldest 4 SUB units. The first nine went to the South Western division for use on the Guildford ‘New Line’ displacing 4 EPB units for further 4 SUB replacement, whilst a few others went to the Central division. These units were ordered to LOT numbers:  30851 (MBS) 30852 (TS) and 30853 (DTC) and dates to traffic are shown below unit numbers. Again, slight electrical alterations led to a change of codes. Subsequent reshuffles of units saw most of this batch at Ramsgate for South Eastern division workings, and units 7855/6 were allocated thus about May 1975 (via overhaul), these being displaced from Lovers Walk by units made available following the disbandment of the 8 VAB unit. These two additional units allowed units 7857-94 to be overhauled two at a time. Virtually all of this batch, by now allocated to Ramsgate, were altered with the outermost first-class compartment (adjacent to toilet) declassified by June 1984, now seating eighteen first and forty-six standard in each DTC with revised unit total of thirty-six first and two hundred & forty-eight standard, though 7873 and 7877 had the innermost compartment downgraded initially. Units 7873 – 7879 were altered later after transfer to Ramsgate. The date of release after the seating had been altered at Eastleigh is shown as the second line in the ‘Declass date’ column. A few were done after renumbering into the 31xx series (shown as ‘later’).

8 VAB UNIT 8001

 Due to problems with availability of 4 REP units on the Bournemouth line it was decided to form an 8‑coach unit of 4 VEP vehicles and include a modified loco‑hauled buffet car to work some of the semi‑fast services between Waterloo and Bournemouth. Obviously, this unit could not be used on services proceeding beyond Bournemouth as it did not have the push‑pull capability of the 4 REP/TC stock and some re-diagramming of units was necessary to provide a suitable diagram on which to use this unit, which was known as the 8 VAB unit. Three newly delivered 4 VEP units 7739/41/42 were disbanded following their commissioning trials to form the 8 VAB which was numbered 8001. To allow this unit to maintain the faster 4 REP/TC schedules, unit 8001 was provided with three motorcoaches giving 3000hp and as this unit was unable to supply heating and lighting current to TC units, the unit ran with a further 4 VEP on certain trains to provide the full 12 car length, this combination of four motorcoaches in one train sometimes causing problems with overloading the traction current supply from the substations. The former loco‑hauled buffet car used in 8001 was an RB numbered 1759, this vehicle having been built by Pressed Steel and new in December 1961 to LOT 30636, diagram number 24 and mounted on Commonwealth bogies and fitted with air braking and dual heating. This coach, along with similar 1758 had been modified at Selhurst during October 1967 to enable them to work with the TC fleet and modifications included fitting 27‑way control jumpers and altering the heating system to work at 750 volts rather than the loco‑hauled standard 1000 volts. Both however retained their liquid gas cooking equipment. The coach seated twenty-three in loose chairs in a saloon at one end of the coach, the other half of the vehicle being occupied by the bar, pantry and kitchen area and a staff toilet at the coach end, and weighed 38 tons, and there were no public access doors to the coach, though emergency and service doors were provided each side, passenger access being via the gangways from adjacent vehicles. RB 1759 received further modifications to enable it to work with 4 VEP vehicles, losing its side buffers and being fitted with fixed‑head buckeyes rather than the usual drophead variety on loco‑hauled stock. The braking system was also modified so that the EP brake was available on this coach, previously the vehicle could work in EP braked trains but this facility was not available on the buffet coach.

The 4 VEP vehicles used in 8001 were basically unmodified and the unit was made up of two separate three and five-car portions, the three-car portion being unit 7741 without the TS 70892 which was spare. The five-car portion had a 4 VEP DTC and MBS marshalled each side of the RB, these being a DTC and MBS from 7742 at one end and the remaining DTC of 7742 and the MBS of 7739 at the other end, these vehicles having the brakevan end of the motor coaches marshalled against the DTC in reverse of the usual 4 VEP practice, resulting in some alterations to jumper connections being necessary prior to forming‑up 8001. The motor bogies at the RB end of these MBSs were fitted with shoebeams giving 8001 six shoes on each side. MBS 62203 which had the passenger saloon marshalled against the kitchen end of 1759 was fitted with tables in five of the six seating bays and the external passenger access doors sealed closed, the non‑tabled bay being that at the extreme end of the coach by the gangway into 1759, the nine seats in this bay not being available to passengers so as not to obstruct the service of meals into the remainder of the coach. One further side door was still available, that at the centre of the coach adjacent to the swing door into the corridor. The tabled seating units were regarded as seating two and one aside rather than three and two as hitherto and this gave twenty-eight seats available for meals service and reduced the overall capacity of this coach from fifty-eight to thirty-one, three seats not having table access and nine being not available. All four cabs of 8001 were numbered as such and the unit could, and occasionally did, run as a five-car and three-car only. Examples of this were a 9-car formation with 7708 running 1-Jul-69 and an 11-car formation with the 3-car portion and two 4 VEPs running 11-Feb-71.

In this form, unit 8001 was 531′ 0½” long and seated twenty-three buffet, ninety-six first and two hundred & ninety-nine second (twenty-eight at tables) and the unit weighed 325 tons and was now Class 480. The RB was painted in blue/grey but the seven 4 VEP vehicles were all-over blue and remained so during the unit’s first overhaul at Eastleigh (the three-car portion on 23-Oct-69 and the five-car portion on 3-Nov-69 and whole unit released 22-Nov-69), the unit not receiving blue/grey livery until a further visit to Eastleigh for C3 overhaul between 9-Feb-72 and 29-Feb-72. Unit 8001 entered traffic in April 1968, but from June 1971 was only officially diagrammed on Summer Saturdays. However it normally saw use about three days each week, usually working on the following services:

08.56 Bournemouth – Waterloo

11.47 Waterloo – Bournemouth

14.56 Bournemouth – Waterloo

17.30 Waterloo – Bournemouth.

The unit was allocated to Bournemouth depot for maintenance, with bogie overhauls taking place at Chart Leacon and body overhauls at Eastleigh. The unit frequently ran with a VEP unit attached, in its early days unit 7712 was the ‘nominated’ unit, later after it was painted blue/grey the solitary blue/grey VEP 7808 was then nominated.

The unit was disbanded in January 1975 following delivery of the final four 4 REP units, arriving at Eastleigh works 14-Jan-75. 4 VEP units 7741 and 7742 were then formed for the first time in traffic, though 7742 did not receive its’ originally allocated TS vehicle, and other vehicles were spare. The alterations to RB 1759 rendered it unsuitable for reconversion to loco‑hauled operation and it was withdrawn without seeing any further service, being stored at Eastleigh Airport Sidings then Micheldever until moved 14-Jun-77 to Mayer Newman, Snailwell for scrapping.

Formation of 8001 was as follows, with the number of the intended 4 VEP unit shown below each coach number. Design codes were unchanged from 4 VEP units though the class number was now 480.

76370 (7739) See note below.

TS

70890 (7739) used immediately in 7735 displacing 70886.

70892 (7741) remained spare until returned to own unit Jan-75.

70893 (7742) used in 7724 from Jun-68 displacing 70875.

70875 (7724) remained spare (used in 7706 and 7733 for periods) until used in 7718 from Nov-80.

70886 (7735) remained spare until returned to 7742 Jan-75.

DTC 76370 was fitted with an experimental Signal Repeating AWS (SRAWS) system and used extensively on tests, usually replacing a DTC in newly delivered 4 VEP or 4 CIG units prior to their commissioning to traffic. It was eventually formed into unit 7768 in January 1975, having been the last SR main line coach still running in all‑blue livery.

4 VEG UNITS 7901 ‑ 7912

Following seating trials with unit 7755 fitted with additional luggage racks for Gatwick Airport passengers in May 1973, it was decided to convert twelve 4 VEP units to have additional luggage accommodation and recast the timetables from May 1978 so that a fifteen minute interval service between Victoria and Gatwick Airport was provided. This was done by diagramming one of the modified units to be the London‑end unit on two Brighton, one Horsham and one Bognor line departure from Victoria each hour, these units being detached at Gatwick Airport. Similar arrangements in the London bound direction applied with trains from further south attaching to a modified unit at Gatwick Airport. These twelve modified units became 4 VEG units and were numbered 7901 ‑ 7912, these being renumbered in order from units 7788 ‑ 7799. Conversion was carried out at Selhurst from March 1978, where units were renumbered and the seating modifications were done, units being returned there for this work to be carried out.

Modification to the seating in these units was less extensive than that in prototype 7755 however, only the seating units at saloon ends each side of the gangway doors being removed, along with the four‑aside seating unit adjacent to the guard’s brake in the MBS. This reduced the seating capacity of each coach as follows, DTC four seats, TS eight seats and MBS eight seats giving second class totals of thirty-four, ninety and fifty respectively and a unit total of two hundred & eight. Other modifications were few, ¼ light windows by the luggage racks were blanked out with grey paint and units were soon fitted with cantrail stripes, red above second class and yellow above first with a ‘Rapid City Link  Gatwick ‑ London’ logo repeated frequently along the stripe. A BR double arrow symbol appeared at the start of the lettering and an aeroplane symbol between ‘Link and Gatwick‘. This was later changed from April 1979 to a green-coloured stripe above second class with the same lettering and a much larger logo with the same lettering along the bodysides of the DTC vehicles and the BR symbol appeared in a double box alongside an aircraft symbol. When curtains were removed from standard class in 4 VEP units early in the 1980s, the 4 VEG units retained theirs. Vehicle design codes were altered to reflect these changes, the DTC cars becoming EE3.66.-A (codes changed again when AWS was commissioned in these vehicles), MBS cars becoming ED2.62.0A and TS cars EH2.78.0A. These units were diagrammed intensively with ten in traffic each day and consequently had a higher frequency of visits to Chart Leacon and Eastleigh for works attention. Efforts were also made to keep them in good order both internally and externally.

Problems with keeping the units to diagrams, any late running causing dislocation very quickly at Gatwick, the success of the units in increasing patronage and conflicts between airline passengers and commuters on some trains led to the decision to provide a higher quality ‘dedicated’ airport service and this started in May 1984 with the introduction of the Victoria to Gatwick Railair link using Mark 2 loco‑hauled coaches push‑pulled by Class 73 EDL locomotives and GLV luggage vans converted from 2 HAP MBS vehicles. The 4 VEG units, which had begun to lose their distinctive cantrail markings from early in 1983, were then renumbered back as 4 VEP units 7788 ‑ 7799 once again and returned to standard seating layout and livery. Alterations to the seating however took some time, the last unit to be converted back to normal being 7789 in March 1985. Unit formations were as follows:

4 VEG UNITS 7901 ‑ 7912

SPARE VEHICLES

Following the formation of 8 VAB unit 8001 in April 1968, five vehicles were left spare, one of these quickly being used for SRAWS experiments. As other units were damaged in collisions/derailments, these spare vehicles were used to replace damaged vehicles undergoing repairs and the repaired vehicles then became spare and were then reused in other damaged units or returned to their original unit. The following table lists vehicles spare for a period and shows their subsequent re‑use.

‘Float‘.  Cars 76340 & 76690 were used to replace pairs of DTC cars in units 7701 ‑ 7720 between May-86 and Jan-88 whilst the displaced DTC cars had asbestos stripped from their floors. The pair remained in each unit for about a month before being transferred to the next unit for treatment.

DRIVING TRAILER 76370

  Driving Trailer Composite 76370 was intended as part of unit 7739, this being the unit that never entered service, being disbanded after delivery as part of the formation of 8 VAB unit 8001. DTC 76370 became a spare vehicle and was then used for a number of experiments, usually based at the Rolling Stock Development (RSD) section at Strawberry Hill. The cab was equipped with a form of Signal Repeating AWS (SRAWS), a system which displayed the actual aspect of the last signal passed in the cab, and also a target maximum speed on a display surrounding the speedometer. Track equipment to operate this system was fitted in the New Forest and later the Up Fast line was equipped between Woking and Raynes Park.

76370 was usually used for tests replacing a driving trailer, normally in a newly-delivered 4 CIG or 4 VEP unit after commissioning but prior to that unit being released to traffic. Later tests also involved the coach in windscreen washer testing and it was used for a variety of other short‑term tests for brief periods. The car remained painted all-blue and carried the number 7739 on the cab end until a visit to Eastleigh for modifications between 12-Jun-73 and 27-Jun-73 when it received the number 7437, this being the 4 CIG unit the coach was marshalled in at that time. The vehicle was released from its special role in January 1975 and used to replace a damaged DTC in unit no.7768, this unit having been out of use since Dec-72 following serious collision damage at Copyhold Jct. 7768 was not however released to traffic in its new formation until July 1976 when 76370 finally entered revenue earning service. The following table lists known units and dates where 76370 was active on testing, though other units may have been involved also.

UNIT 7700

  As noted above, various 4 VEP coaches were spare over most of the period of the units running in service since the formation of 8 VAB unit 8001 in April 1968. A temporary three-car unit (DTC‑MBS‑DTC) was formed in October 1983 to run with the ‘High Speed Track Recording Coach’ (HSTRC), this consisting of spare vehicles 76690 and 62200 also 76686 (ex 7838). This unit only ran for a few weeks as intended, and not in passenger service. However no.7700 ran again briefly in April 1984 with 4 CIG DTC 76639 formed in place of 76686 on Central Division workings, in this form the unit seated forty-eight first and one-hundred & twenty four second and was used in passenger service. Believed unit out of use again from about May 1984.

A shortage of stock late in 1984 led to the formation of a ‘new’ unit numbered 7700, formed of three spare 4 VEP coaches and a spare 4 CIG DTC vehicle. As a result, 7700 seated forty-eight first and two hundred & twenty two second. The unit was formed as below. When first formed in October 1984, unit 7700 only had AWS at one end, (probably 76690), the other cab was believed fitted when unit out of use between December 1984 and February 1985.

MBS 62200 was removed from the unit between Dec-84 and Mar-85 and it was out of use, though shown as formed with 4 CIG MBS 62291 during this period, this coach damaged at Slade Green (ex 7341). 4 VEP DTC 76690 was removed from unit from May-86 to act as a ‘float’ spare for the first batch of twenty units which were undergoing asbestos removal from the floors of their DTC cars at this time. It was replaced in 7700 by a further 4 CIG DTC 76811, this coach spare from damaged 7390 which was undergoing collision repairs. In this form, with 4 CIG DTCs each end of two 4 VEP centre vehicles, unit 7700 seated forty-eight first and two hundred & twelve second. 76811 was replaced by 76804 (ex spare) from Dec-86. Along with all other 4 VEP units, it was renumbered into the 3xxx series, becoming unit 3000 from August 1987.

INDIVIDUAL UNIT NOTES

UNIT

7700                MBS 62200 to 4 BIG 7057 from Dec-84 and unit out of use until replaced by 62291 (ex damage repairs from 7341) from 11-Feb-85. Unit now formed of two 4 CIG and two 4 VEP coaches in alternate formation and in this form seated forty-eight first and two hundred & twenty second. 62291 returned to 7341 and 62200 back from 7057 by Mar-85. Unlikely however if unit ever ran in traffic in this temporary formation. DTC 76690 removed from unit May-86 as ‘Float’ spare for asbestos stripping DTC cars of 7701 ‑ 7720 batch and replaced by a further 4 CIG DTC 76811, unit now seating forty-eight first and two hundred & twelve second and consisting of two 4 CIG DTC cars flanking two 4 VEP centre cars. MBS 62200 briefly exchanged with 62213 (ex 7752) May-86 though reason unknown. DTC 76811 to 7727 from Nov-86 and replaced by 76804 (ex spare).

RENUMBERED UNITS 3000 ‑ 3194

From June 1987 all 4 VEP units were renumbered into a new series from 3000 to 3194, this to accord with their TOPS numbering as Class 423, their full numbers now being 423000 ‑ 423194 though only the last four digits were actually displayed on cab ends. Some units were renumbered during overhaul, but most were done at depots during routine maintenance, the last, 7827, being renumbered 16-Sep-88. Unit 3000 was the temporary hybrid mixed 4 CIG/4 VEP unit formerly 7700, and other units were renumbered in original order, 7701 becoming 3001 to 7894 becoming 3194. A few gaps in the series existed where units had previously been withdrawn due to accident damage. By this stage, many units were also having one of the first-class compartments in each DTC downgraded to second, these coaches progressively having the seating in the compartment concerned rebuilt to seat eight rather than six as previously. Some units early in this programme had the compartment at the inner end adjacent to the second-class saloon modified, but most had the one at the outer end adjacent to the toilet modified, and the early modified units were subsequently altered to this standard. Many units ran for a time with a downgraded first-class compartment, still seating six until the seating modifications could be carried out, usually during routine overhauls at Eastleigh works. Downgraded DTC cars seated eighteen first and forty-four second giving a unit total of thirty-six first and two hundred & forty-four second, those with the rebuilt seating seated eighteen first and forty-six second in each DTC, unit totals then being thirty-six first and two hundred & forty-eight second. The last unit to run with four first class compartments at each end was 3007, modified in June 1993. Electrical and design codes of many vehicles had been modified since new. When the units were renumbered, four of the first twenty were still outstanding for the asbestos removal from the floors of their DTC cars and these units (3013/4/5/8) all gained the temporary ‘Float’ DTC cars 76340 & 76690 for a short while. 76340 had the standard FB code whilst 76690 was FB‑1A.

From early 1988 a programme of modification to provide a further eighteen standard-class seats in part of the former luggage area of the MBS coaches was commenced, this work being undertaken along with provision of fluorescent lighting and units so modified were again renumbered into a new series from 3401 upwards in order of shopping. From April 1989 units working on the Central Division had their droplights restricted to only open 6”, a few in the corridors and first-class compartments still opening fully but with external window bars fitted, this after discovery of certain ‘tight’ clearances in Oxted tunnel. From the new financial year from April 1990, all units being overhauled were facelifted with fluorescent lighting and PA equipment, but budget constraints meant that quite a few did not have the brakevan modification at this time and these units were not renumbered though a few were reformed, these are shown in the lists with a facelift date and ‘Same’ in new numbers column and appear again in a later list of facelift/unmodified units. The last unfacelifted unit, (3075) was taken into Eastleigh in July 1993.

Unit formations are as shown below, those running with a rebuilt standard-class compartment are shown as RI (innermost compartment adjacent to saloon altered), RO (outermost compartment adjacent to toilet altered) or R? (one compartment altered, unknown which). The date of facelifting and new unit numbers in the 34xx range are also shown, where two are shown the first being the unit gaining the three trailer coaches, the second that into which the MBS vehicle was formed. DTC cars marked * formed into units 3013/14/15/18 were the ‘float’ coaches used temporarily whilst their own had asbestos removed from their floors. ‘Code’ appears where there is a change in that column.

UNITS FACELIFTED WITHOUT BRAKEVAN MODIFICATION

The units shown below were facelifted and fitted with fluorescent lighting and PA equipment but without the modification of the luggage area to provide additional seating. As a result, they were not renumbered into the 34xx series at this time, many being done on C3 overhauls, without seat retrimming. The position of the downgraded first-class compartment was also standardised on those few with the inner one previously done, now the one adjacent to the toilet was that which was downgraded. The date below the unit number is the date returned to traffic in facelifted condition. During early 1993, these units began to return to Eastleigh for further overhauls (usually C1 or C6X) where the brakevan modification was then carried out, with the usual exchange of motorcoaches occurring and renumbering into the 34xx series. Under the BR privatisation arrangements, all units remaining in traffic in this form after 1st April 1994 were allocated to the ownership of a train leasing company, this batch being split between Angel Train Leasing (marked ‘A’ after unit number) with units in use on the South Eastern, and Eversholt (marked ‘E’ after unit number) with units in use by South West Trains. Units exchanging MBS vehicles during brakevan modifications led to a number of units being formed with vehicles owned by different Roscos and early in 1995 this was altered so that although some coaches were still exchanged, units with mixed ownership were avoided and some units kept their original formations. Units marked with * after unit number were fitted with droplight opening restrictions for the Oxted line.

FACELIFTED UNITS 3401 – 3591

A programme to ‘facelift’ the 4 VEP fleet was commenced late in 1987 with the first units emerging in March 1988. This process was similar to that carried out on 4 CIG and 4 BIG units and consisted of fitting the units with fluorescent lighting and a public address system and reupholstering the seats in the latest style of NSE moquette. One former first class compartment in each DTC was also rebuilt with eight second class seats, this being the one at the end of the coach adjacent to the toilet. The biggest modification however was to the MBS vehicle, where the former generous luggage area was reduced and an eighteen‑seat standard-class saloon provided. The guard’s compartment remained as before, and then a small luggage compartment adjacent, with a single pair of double outwards opening doors provided on each side. The remainder of the former luggage space was rebuilt into a two‑bay saloon, the bay adjacent to the luggage area having a swing door into the side corridor past the guard’s compartment with a seat for four along this partition. The was an outside access door on the non‑corridor side of this seating bay. Two free standing seating units were provided in the saloon, one seating six, the other four, and the standard saloon end arrangement of a pair of two‑aside seating units each side of the gangway door to the next coach were fitted against the other wall of the saloon. This seating bay also had a single side access door, this being diagonally opposite that of the other seating bay. A very neat conversion job was carried out on this saloon at Eastleigh with seating and window units identical to those in the remainder of the unit being provided. In this modified form the MBS now seated seventy-six, and with each DTC now seating eighteen first and forty-six standard, the unit totals for these facelifted units was thirty-six first and two hundred & sixty-six standard. Following conversion, the SR code was amended from EB‑xx to ED‑xx, the BR code changing from ED2.61.xx to ED2.66.xx. All facelifted units were painted in the NSE red/white/blue livery. A few units had the large sidelights replaced with single pane windows at this time removing the sealed‑up former sliding ventilators, and the new windows in the converted brakevan area were usually of this larger size, though a few earlier conversions used recovered frames from modified units and still had the sealed‑up ventilators, in a very few cases, these being fitted into MBS vehicles which had been modified with the larger windows in the original passenger saloon. Units working on the Central Division, those which passed to the Porterbrook Leasing Co. were all fitted with restricted opening droplights and window bars over unrestricted ones as these worked on the Oxted line where a clearance restriction had been imposed. This restriction was imposed from May 1989 so units up to 3465, where allocated to Lovers Walk were modified there, later ones were done during facelift (if not already so fitted when they arrived).

The modifications to the MBS vehicles took longer than the conversion work on the remaining three vehicles, and after the first two units had been completed, a ‘Float’ MBS system was instituted with units exchanging MBS cars in works and leaving with the MBS of a previous unit taken in, this to reduce time units were out of traffic. Units were numbered upwards from 3421 as they were outshopped, with no regard taken of their previous numbers, the only exceptions to this being the first twenty units which were kept in number order as 3401 ‑ 3420, this being to keep all the former blue asbestos contaminated DTC cars together in one number group. This was a late change of policy as the first two units done were initially intended to become 3401/2 but emerged as 3421/2. MBS vehicles from the first batch of twenty units did however become marshalled in higher numbered units. Design codes were also altered during facelift and due to the mixing of vehicles from earlier units there was no set pattern to them. Unit 3441 was damaged in the Purley collision in March 1989 and disbanded in February 1990, three of its coaches being used with the surviving coach from 3004 damaged in the Clapham Junction collision in December 1988 to make up unit 3404. Units 3421 up to 3451 were delivered with their unit numbers positioned below the cab observation lights, though this was altered to standard at their next repaint.

Unit formations are shown below, with the date of release to traffic and the number of the vehicles’ former unit shown below in brackets. Under the BR privatisation arrangements, units were allocated to the ownership of train leasing companies from 1st April 1994, the size of the 4 VEP fleet leading to units being allocated to all three. Those working for South West Trains going to Eversholt (later becoming Forward Trust and subsequently HSBC), those for Network SouthCentral to Porterbrook and those for South Eastern to Angel Train Contracts. These are marked with an ‘A’, ‘H’ or ‘P’ against the unit numbers, however the continuing swapping of motorcoaches during brakevan modification led to a number of units with three trailers from one leasco and the motorcoach from another, and a few of the later conversions were carried out without the MBS swapping to avoid this. In a tidying‑up operation on 1st April 1995 the mixed ownership units had their MBS vehicles reallocated to the same leasco as the trailers. In the following lists these are marked as follows:

H*1     MBS transferred Angel ‑ HSBC                     A*3     MBS transferred HSBC – Angel.

P*2      MBS transferred Angel ‑ Porterbrook.           A*4     MBS transferred Porterbrook – Angel.

The final franchisee operating the unit is shown below the unit number, SWT for South West Trains, SR for Southern and SET for South Eastern Trains. The final unit for facelifting, 3182, was taken into Eastleigh works on 17th July 1995, and emerged as 3591 during September, at last getting all the units into one number series once again. The MBS from 3182 remained as a spare at the end of the programme. However, due to altered unit requirements with the new timetable from 28th May 1995, eight units became surplus on South Central and were transferred to the South Eastern during August, these being Porterbrook owned examples, and were renumbered into a further new series as 3801 ‑ 3808 to distinguish them from the Angel owned units already being leased by the South Eastern. Two further units followed in June 1996, these becoming 3809 and 3810.

Units working for Connex South Central began to be repainted into their new white/yellow livery from late 1996, though early examples had their bodysides all‑white due to problems applying the yellow decals to slam door vehicles, the first unit treated being 3501 outshopped from Eastleigh 25-Nov-96. Cab ends also had a black area above cab handrail levels, and further ‘white’ units followed, 3503/4/5/12/14/35/41/46 before the problems applying the livery were resolved with unit 3517 ex Eastleigh Jun-97. South West Trains also began painting their 4 VEP fleet into new red/orange/white/blue livery from late 1996, the first being 3516 from 9-Dec-96. CSCs’ ‘white’ units were planned to have the yellow applied at Selhurst from Aug-97 but the programme ceased after only 3514, 3501, 3505, 3535 and 3546 were dealt with, though the outstanding units were completed later. Connex South Eastern also began applying this livery from Dec-97, with units 3556 and 3560, though 3554 was experimentally given blue upper areas similar to the Class 365 unit style, though this was overpainted back to white when the unit was returned to Eastleigh 5-Jan-98 before the unit was released to traffic.

A number of unit leases expired on 1st April 1998 and the opportunity was taken to switch round some units between the franchises with some Porterbrook owned units moving to South West Trains whose parent company, Stagecoach, now owned that leasco. Fifteen Forward Trust (formerly Eversholt) units off lease with SWT moved to Connex South Central while both Connex companies gave up two Porterbrook units to SWT. Units 3809 and 3810 moved from CSE to SWT, units 3537 and 3541 from CSC to SWT (these being renumbered 3811 and 3812) and 3403/79/82/83/84/85/86/88/89/90/3523/24/29/30/31 moved from SWT to CSC. These fifteen units were all fitted with window bars at Lovers Walk, these differing from the earlier versions in that all windows had bars and no droplights had restricted opening. Window restrictions were removed from 3811/2 before they entered service with SWT, unit 3541 (3812) being delivered to SWT in ‘white’ livery and being sent to Chart Leacon for repaint into SWT livery before entering service, though it remained unique in retaining the ‘Connex’ style cab end with a black top half. All fifteen units transferred to CSC were in NSE livery, these being repainted into Connex livery in a programme at Chart Leacon in the latter part of 1998/early 1999. Virtually all units on SWT were painted into their livery by 2000, though 3415, 3809/10/11 remained running in NSE livery right through into 2005 and never received SWT colours.

The increased use of 4 VEP units on CSC suburban services led to a further programme of modifications involving the complete removal of the first-class compartments in both DTC cars of units at Chart Leacon, the resulting standard class only units becoming 4 VOP, Class 423/9. Nineteen Porterbrook owned units leased to CSC were included in this programme, the first, 3439, moving to Chart Leacon on 15th December 1998 and all were renumbered into a new series as 3901 ‑ 3919.

Two units, 3487 and 3543 were transferred to Connex South Central from Connex South Eastern for the timetable alterations from 26th September 1999, these being fitted with window bars at Lovers Walk. This was done to enable CSC to release two 319/0 units to Thameslink to ease overcrowding problems on that route. It also meant that CSC now operated some 4 VEP units from each of the three leasing companies. Unit 3451 was the last 4 VEP operating for either Connex franchise to retain NSE livery, being taken into Eastleigh works for repainting 3-Apr-01. CSE units began to have window bars fitted during June 2001, all being completed by April 2002. Connex lost the South Central franchise to GoVia in 2001 and unit 3514 was painted into the new SC two tone green/grey livery in December 2001, though no others were done.

Units allocated to SouthCentral began to have TPWS equipment fitted in May 2002, CSE units also started to be modified about this time. SouthCentral (SC) units belonging to Porterbrook or Angel were done at Lovers Walk whilst those of Forward Trust (latterly HSBC) were dealt with at Eastleigh. CSE units were also done at Eastleigh. No SWT operated units had been fitted by July 2002, but most were done by the end of 2002. A number of SWT allocated units also had their interior door catches removed during overhauls resulting in passengers having to lower the droplight and use the outside catch to open the door.

The timetable change of September 2003 brought further upheaval to the fleet, the two units loaned long‑term from Connex to SouthCentral being returned at this time. SouthCentral also began to reform all sixteen of their Porterbrook owned 4 VEP units with sixteen of the 4 VOP units to produce thirty-two units with first class accommodation at one end only. These units took more numbers in the Porterbrook 38xx range, being numbered upwards from 3813 to 3844. Those reformed with three former 4 VEP coaches took the even numbers, those with three former 4 VOP coaches took the odd numbers. Also, the position of the all‑open DTS varied between units, some having this vehicle coupled against the motorcoach whilst others had it coupled on the other end of the unit. Three of the 4 VOP units however were not planned to be dealt with as there were insufficient Porterbrook owned 4 VEPs leased to SouthCentral to enable all to be done. SouthCentral still however ran thirteen ‘standard’ 4 VEPs, these being units leased from HSBC rail. This reform programme was, however, abandoned after only four pairs of units had been reformed, and the other twelve 4 VEP units intended to be altered remained running in their original formations, only units numbered 3813/14/21/22/41/42/43/44 actually being formed.

By May 2004, the introduction of new trains on all three franchises had reached the stage where withdrawal of 4 VEP units could be considered and the first withdrawals of undamaged units started, with SWT sending nine units away for disposal, though by this time several other units were also stored around their system out of use with defects. South Eastern Trains (SET), the successors to Connex on the South Eastern franchise, withdrew two units slightly damaged in derailments and ‘Southern’, the new name of the former South Central franchise took their first two units ‘off lease’ early in June. Disposals of units varied depending on their ownership, both Porterbrook and HSBC sending units direct to Immingham Railfreight Terminals for disposal, whilst Angel forwarded their units to Shoeburyness for some stripping work, individual vehicles then being moved by road to scrap dealers. The volume of units for disposal also saw other scrapyards involved, with some HSBC units being sent by rail to South Wales for disposal in scrapyards there, and later some Angel units also went direct to South Wales by rail.

Withdrawals of units continued steadily into 2005, and the first TOC to cease using slam-door units was South West Trains, their last ordinary slam-door train being the 18.58 Waterloo to Windsor and 20.23 return on 20th May, though the two units involved, 4 CIG 1316 and 4 VEP 3536, then ran as the 21.53 to Alton with an EDL loco attached to the front, and returned as 23.14 to Woking. An official farewell trip ran on 26th May at 11.35 from Waterloo to Bournemouth using units 1396, 3536 and 1398 and two farewell rail tours were run on 11th and 18th June using the restored 4 VEP 3417 and a 3 CIG unit (1498 on 11th and 1497 on 18th). The last 12 VEP working on SET took place on 7th October when units 3568, 3545 and 3565 worked the 18.04 Cannon Street to Ashford. This proved to be the very last slam-door train with that TOC and all units were quickly hauled away for stripping from Ramsgate. Workings on ‘Southern’ lasted for a while longer, the last ‘diagrammed’ slam-door train being the 17.17 Victoria to Seaford/Eastbourne on 19th August worked by 4 CIG 1866 with 4 VEPs 3486 and 3535. However, further unit workings continued until 22nd November in normal service and a 12 VEP was specially rostered on Saturday 26th November running as 09.19 Brighton to Victoria and 11.06 return (both trains ran via Lewes owing to engineering works). These were worked by units 3490, 3505 and 3535 and were the last ever 4 VEP units to run in passenger service. The final run of any units under their own power took place on 15-Dec-05 when units 3486 & 3530 ran from Lovers Walk to Stewarts Lane for shoegear removal. In the following table, electrical codes, which had become very complicated and mixed, are shown above each vehicle.

UNITS 3801 – 3812

Due to changing unit requirements with the timetable change of 28th May 1995, the SouthCentral Train Operating Company intended to reduce the number of 4 VEP units on lease from Porterbrook Leasing Company by eight. This was principally caused by the introduction of Class 319 units onto a number of London to Horsham services via Three Bridges. However a temporary shortage of suburban stock due to problems with excessive wheel flange wear led to the lease on these eight units being extended until 28th July, but as the suburban stock situation eased, a number of units were taken out of use and stored (usually at West Worthing shed) before this date, and all were out of use by 22nd July. The units selected by Porterbrook to be ‘off lease‘, (known as ‘Handback’ units) were:  3440/43/44/60/61/65/77/3525, and all units were then planned to be transferred to the South Eastern Train Operating Company, displacing eight 4 CEP units (these also owned by Porterbrook) for disposal as scrap.

Three units, 3440/61/65 were stored from 21-Jun-95, the remaining five all coming out of service between 20th and 22nd July 1995. Several were sent to Chart Leacon for C4 overhauls whilst in store, and one to Eastleigh for C6 overhaul during which the window bar and restricted droplight opening modifications required for use on the Oxted line were removed. Four units were transferred to the South Eastern as two 8‑car trains on 9th and 10th August and a further one transferred via Chart Leacon C4 overhaul on 14th July, the remaining three all going via Eastleigh for C6X overhauls on 16th July where they were renumbered before release. As these Porterbrook units were on a different maintenance cycle from the usual Angel Train Contracts units already on the South Eastern, it was decided to renumber them as units 3801 ‑ 3808 to enable their easy identification, and unit 3525 was the first into South Eastern service about 16th July numbered 3801, the remaining units being renumbered in order upwards from 3802 ‑ 3808 prior to entering service with the South Eastern. All units had the window modifications removed during routine overhauls. The transfer of responsibility for provision of stock on the Redhill ‑ Tonbridge line from Network SouthCentral to South Eastern from the timetable change of 2nd June 1996 led to the transfer of two further units, 3502 and 3538. Unit 3538 was sent to Eastleigh for C6 overhaul and removal of window modifications 15-May-96 and released as 3809 early in June, whilst 3502 ran direct to Ramsgate from Brighton 1-Jun-96 and was renumbered 3810 and entered service still fitted with restricted opening windows. This unit went to Eastleigh 26-Jun-96 for C6 overhaul and the window modifications were removed at this time.

Further changes in the leasing of units took place from 1st April 1998, when four Porterbrook owned 4 VEP units were ‘off lease’ from Connex (two ex South Eastern and two ex South Central), all four being re-leased by South West Trains. Units 3809 and 3810 were last used by CSE 31-Mar-98 and moved from Chart Leacon to Wimbledon Park 3-Apr-98 and entered service from Fratton from 15-Apr-98. Units 3537 and 3541 moved from Selhurst to Wimbledon Park 31-Mar-98, 3537 being last used 30-Mar-98 and 3541 27-Mar-98. Unit 3541 being in ‘white’ livery was sent to Chart Leacon for C5 repair including removal of window opening restrictions and repaint into SWT livery and renumbering as 3812 on 3-Apr-98 whilst 3537 was renumbered and window modified at Wimbledon Park. Unit 3812 was released from Chart Leacon 30-Apr-98 in SWT livery but still retained the blue/black area on the top half of the cab ends making it unique.

The Connex leased units began to appear in Connex livery late in 1998, all being repainted by the end of 2000. Window bars began to again be fitted to the Connex units during June 2001. Units 3809-11 remained as the last 4 VEP units working for SWT to retain NSE livery, all surviving in this scheme until withdrawal. TPWS equipment was fitted to test unit 3810 in January 2002, the first 4 VEP to be fitted, and began to be fitted to CSE allocated units from May, unit 3807 being the first dealt with at Ramsgate, whilst 3802 was done at Eastleigh in June. SWT 3812 received a cab end repaint in full yellow in March 2004 bringing it into line with the other units working on SWT.

Withdrawals began in late June 2004, with unit 3801 on South Eastern Trains, this unit having been restricted to a morning diagram on the Bromley North branch for some weeks before withdrawal to eke‑out the remaining mileage allowance, and unit 3802 was withdrawn the following day. Both these units were briefly stored at Ashford Yard before being used for a train fire exercise at London Bridge 11-Jul-04 prior to disposal for scrapping. The remaining SET units were withdrawn between October and December 2004 and disposed of as two 12-car trains in December, leaving only the four SWT units in traffic. Three of these were withdrawn at the end of March as many SWT units were ‘off lease’ on 1st April and the last unit of this number series, 3811 was taken out of service on 13th May. The whole of this batch of units was sent for scrapping to Immingham Railfreight Terminal, Porterbrook having a contract with this site for disposal of its slam-door stock.

Unit formations were as follows, with date into SE service below unit number and date of last SC use also shown. SWT units from Apr-98 are shown below with last Connex use dates and dates to SWT traffic.

4 VOP UNITS 3901 – 3919

The introduction of the ‘Connex Express’ service between London and Brighton from January 1997 and the Gatwick to Rugby service from May 1997 committed virtually all of the twenty Connex-leased Class 319 units to these specific services, their replacement on suburban duties (now marketed as ‘South London Metro’) being a mixture of 4 VEP and 455/456 units. Increased frequencies on the South London Metro also required an increased provision of stock, particularly in the peak periods, as most of the sliding door units (455/456) were now utilised to provide the ‘all day’ frequencies and were required as many of the trains ran under D.O.O. conditions where slam door units were unsuitable. As a result, about fifteen 4 VEP diagrams were used mainly covering suburban peak‑hour journeys, though all these units remained allocated for routine maintenance to Lovers Walk depot and interworked with outer suburban services to return units to Brighton regularly for maintenance purposes.

Increased levels of traffic had led to a number of services becoming overcrowded and it was therefore planned to modify nineteen 4 VEP units to all-standard class by removal of the first-class compartments and replacement with standard class seating, this also having the added benefit of reducing the amount of vandalism which took place in these compartments. Many of the suburban services worked by 4 VEP units were already only advertised as conveying standard class seats so there was not a problem with any loss of facilities on these trains, though careful diagramming was required to enable these units to return on main line services to Brighton for maintenance, as they then had to run with other units including first class accommodation. Some diagrams also worked on the East Grinstead and Horsham lines where first class was still provided, and downgraded units were again usually diagrammed to run with unmodified units to provide the advertised first class facilities.

The nineteen modified units were reclassified as 4 VOP (Vestibuled, Open, Porterbrook) and reclassified as Class 423/1. All these units were leased by Connex from Porterbrook leasing and the units retained their restricted droplight opening and barred windows to allow continued use on the East Grinstead line. Prior to conversion, units returned to Lovers Walk for removal of some first-class fittings as spares for other units, but normally remained in traffic up to one or two days prior to dispatch to Chart Leacon. Modifications took place at ABB Chart Leacon depot (a new departure for this location which had previously been used as a running gear and electrical equipment overhaul workshop), the first unit, 3439, arriving on 15th December 1998 for trial modification. The compartment partitions in the former DTCs were removed and similar seating installed as fitted in the revised DTS cars of the 3 COP units, with four bays of 4 aside seating and retaining the side gangway past this section of the coach. The toilet was retained in the corner of the coach with modified partitioning, and the bodyside heater formerly along the corridor was also retained. The window positions remained unmodified as well, so one side of the coach changed from large sidelights between each droplight to two ¼ lights between each droplight about halfway along the bodyside. As modified, the DTS cars (ex DTC) now seated seventy standard giving a revised unit total of three-hundred & fourteen standard. Units were renumbered upwards from 3901 in order of shopping and those still in NSE livery were also repainted into Connex colours, and it was planned to have the whole fleet in use from the timetable change of 30th May 1999, however the first unit was not outshopped from Chart Leacon until 20th May, entering traffic from 25th, and the full fleet was not ready for service until 20th January 2000.

Units 3901 and 3908 had earlier had all three trailers modified with the large sidelight windows, these were retained during the modifications. Unit 3912 also had the large sidelight window modifications to the MBS vehicle, also the corridor side of DTS 76492 carried forward from earlier modifications. Unit 3902 was released from Chart Leacon with a wiring problem in one DTS which required further work at Lovers Walk and was released later into traffic than units 3903/4/5. Unit 3901 suffered an electrical fire near Hove on 5th July 1999 and as a result there were no 4 VOP units at all running in early July 1999. A small number of units were loaned from time to time to Connex South Eastern to cover stock shortages. Unit 3907 was the first 4 VOP unit to be fitted with TPWS equipment at Lovers Walk early in May 2002, and all were done by November, with 3914 being the last fitted 24-Oct-02.

For the timetable change of September 2003 it was decided to reform sixteen of these units with the sixteen Porterbrook owned 4 VEP units leased to SouthCentral to provide thirty two ‘new’ 4 VEP units with first class accommodation at one end only. This was to overcome operating problems where 4 VOP and 4 VEP units became exchanged in traffic at times of disruption and resulted in some trains booked to have first class accommodation being formed of 4 VOP units and not providing this facility, conversely trains booked to be formed of 4 VOP units were running with 4 VEP units instead with consequential shortage of overall seating capacity. Units were therefore worked to Selhurst depot from mid-September and one of the DTS vehicles then exchanged with a DTC vehicle from a 4 VEP unit, the renumbered unit going into the 3813 – 3844 range. All the units reformed which included three former 4 VOP coaches took the odd numbers in this range, whilst those having three former 4 VEP coaches took the even numbers. However, the reform programme was abandoned after only four units had been reformed, and the remaining twelve units continuing to run in their original formations. All the units involved in these reforms were still painted in the old Connex yellow/white livery.

Unit 3917 was the first to be withdrawn on 30th September 2004, with others following steadily from then onwards. Disposal of these units took place at Immingham Railfreight Terminal, where owners Porterbrook had a contract for their slam-door unit disposals. Two units, 3905 and 3918 after withdrawal were sent to Chart Leacon where they underwent some modifications to couplers at one cab end to enable them to shunt Class 465/466 and 375/377 units within the depot. The final unit to run in traffic was 3911 on 19th August 2005.

Unit formations were as follows, with date to traffic below the unit number.

UNITS 3813 – 3844

  The introduction of new Class 375 & 377 units on SouthCentral from late 2002 gradually led to increasing operational problems on this franchise. To accommodate the new trains a programme of modernisation was started at both of the main depots at Selhurst and Lovers Walk (Brighton). In the short term this led to loss of capacity at both depots and stock working arrangements were altered to outberth some units away from the depot. From September 2002 some units began to be berthed overnight at Stewarts Lane depot and an increased number used Streatham Hill. As many 4 VEP and 4 VOP units worked intermixed formation trains, inevitable late running or disruption caused some reverse attachments and other alterations and these units became increasingly mixed-up in traffic, and with less presentation at depots, correcting these wrong formations was not always possible. This frequently resulted in trains booked to have first class accommodation running formed of four or eight-car 4 VOP formations with consequential passenger complaints about lack of first class. Conversely, some suburban workings booked for an 8 VOP formation ran with 4 VEP units, thereby lowering the overall seating capacity causing some overcrowding and also leading to SouthCentral being penalised financially for reduced seating capacity by the SRA.

Further rebuilding work at Lovers Walk depot which started in 2003 aggravated the problems and the decision was taken to reform the 4 VOP units with 4 VEP units owned by Porterbrook (who also owned the 4 VOP units) to form thirty-eight units with first class accommodation at one end only in one DTC, and with a downgraded ex 4 VOP DTS at the other end. These units were then classified as Class 423/8 units and renumbered into the 38xx number range, (already used by other Porterbrook units, though these had the standard seating arrangement). All SouthCentral trains then requiring high-density units were then shown as formed as 4 VEP from the September timetable change, the 4 VOP classification being abolished. However, SouthCentral still had on lease fifteen other 4 VEP units, thirteen from HSBC Rail (formerly Forward Trust) and two from Angel Train Contracts on a sub-lease from Connex, still in the standard formation and these were not to be renumbered or reformed.

Units therefore began to be reformed at Selhurst depot, commencing in mid-September. Pairs of units with roughly matched overhaul dates were selected to be reformed and with the inevitable consequence that the positions of the DTS and DTC relative to the motorcoach was not standard, some units having the DTC adjacent to the motorcoach whilst others had it adjacent to the TS vehicle. As reformed, each unit now had one DTC seating eighteen first and forty-six standard and one DTS seating seventy standard giving a revised overall unit total of eighteen first and two hundred & ninety standard. As SouthCentral only had sixteen Porterbrook-owned 4 VEP units on lease, only sixteen of the 4 VOP units were to be reformed this way, leaving three in their original formations and creating thirty-two ‘new’ 4 VEP units with first class at one end only, these then being numbered upwards from 3813 to 3844, taking numbers above the existing Porterbrook owned units 3801 – 3808 (with Connex) and 3809 ‑ 3812 (with SWT). Even numbered units were those with three former 4 VEP coaches whilst odd numbered units were those with three former 4 VOP coaches. However, the reform programme was abandoned after only eight units had been done, with only units numbered 3813/14/21/22/41/42/43/44 actually being formed. This was owing to problems matching the overhaul dates of the constituent vehicles of the reformed units, and to avoid two mixed livery units as one 4 VEP was in the new SouthCentral two tone green and grey livery. With the impending replacement of all the 4 VEP and 4 VOP units by newer Class 377 units, no further units were then dealt with.

Withdrawals commenced among this small batch of units in June 2004 when 3841 was sent for disposal, and 3814 was taken out of traffic in September. Unit 3813 followed in December, however unit 3821 which had been out of use since early October after an electrical fire was repaired and returned to service. Unit 3843 was taken out of traffic in April 2005, leaving four units in traffic. Two further units were withdrawn in July. All this batch of units were sent to Immingham Railfreight Terminal for scrapping. Unit 3822 was sold for preservation.

In the following formation lists, the DTC vehicle number is marked by an * symbol.

Electrical codes are a mix of the old SR system for the ex VEP coaches and the newer BR system for the ex VOP coaches, the VEPs also having these but very complex and not all recorded.
