In June 1957 the first of a series of BR standard design 90mph
2-car electric multiple units emerged from Eastleigh works on underframes
constructed at Ashford. Built in four distinct batches split between the two
Phases (1 & 2), they were classified as 2 HAP and were numbered from
6001 upwards. ‘2 HAP’ indicated what was basically a modernised EP braked
version of the 2 HAL units although the internal layout and bodystyles were very different.

2 HAP Units
Nos.6001 – 6173
The first batch of forty-two units (nos.6001 – 6042)
were ‘1951 type’ stock with similar electrical equipment to the 1951 built
4 EPB units and BR 2 EPB units with contactor control. This was
followed by a second batch of ‘1957 type’ Phase 1 units (nos.6043 – 6105)
then two further batches of ‘1957 type’ for Phase 2 units (nos.6106 – 6146)
introduced in 1961 (with BR Mark 3B motor bogies and Commonwealth bogies)
and the fourth and final batch of units (nos.6147 – 6173) followed in
1963 (with BR Mark 4 motor bogies and Commonwealth bogies). Each batch had
subtle but very distinct differences from the others.

The name HAP followed on from the 2
HAL Half-A-Lavatory units:
HAP denoting Half-A-(lavatory)
(electro) Pneumatic.
Latterly the first-class
accommodation in the 2 HAP units was downgraded to second-class to form the 2
SAP units:
SAP denoting Second class (half)-A-(lavatory) (electro) Pneumatic.
From April /May 1982 pairs of 2 HAP
units were permanently coupled together for use on the Coastway
Services out of Brighton. These became 4 CAP units:
CAP denoting Coastway
(half)-A-(lavatory) (electro) Pneumatic.
These codes originally used capital
letters with no hyphen for although some railway documentation has occasionally
used lower case and hyphens.

‘1951 type’ Phase 1 units nos.6001 - 6042
(First batch 1957)
The first batch of forty-two units (nos.6001 – 6042)
were ‘1951 type’ stock with similar electrical equipment to the 1951 built
4 EPB units and BR 2 EPB units with contactor control. These units
were ordered in three sub-batches, units nos.6001 ‑ 6004,
6005 ‑ 6011 & 6012 – 6042; the final sub-batch
being authorised on authority of HOO (Head Office Order) number 4280 as part of
the ‘Gatwick’ budget for improving train services between London and the
airport, though the units themselves went into traffic on the
South Eastern Division displacing 2 HAL units to the
Central Division to enable an increase in services to Gatwick.
Unit no.6004 was displayed at the Eastleigh works open day on 7th August
1957 and the first batch of four units entered service from Monday 18th August
1957 working as an eight-car formation on the 8.9am Sevenoaks to Cannon Street
and 5.30pm return service. The delivery of the mos.6005 ‑ 6011
batch in November 1957 enabled some peak-hour services from Holborn Viaduct to
Gillingham to be covered by the new stock. These first eleven units were
trimmed with red ‘sprig & octopus’ repp material
in second class.
The nos.6012 - 6042 batch began to arrive in February 1958,
these differing from the first eleven units by having their bogie sidespring hangers fitted with BTR vibro-dampers and having
‘trojan’ grey moquette seating in second class. The first few units of this
batch (up to about no.6018) also saw use on Eastern Section peak-hour trains.
They also saw some use on the Central section on weekend relief trains to
Eastbourne.
By April 1958 units up to no.6034 had arrived, and these, along
with the first deliveries of the SR type 2 HAP units nos,5601 ‑ 5605
were then diagrammed to cover the all‑day service from Charing Cross to
Gillingham, beginning the large scale displacement of the 2 HAL units to
the Central section; these being required there for the expansion of the
Gatwick Airport services from 9th June 1958.
Bogie problems with this whole batch of 42 units (similar to
those encountered with the ‘Hastings’ diesel units and the BR type 2 EPB
units) led to an urgent repair programme from August 1958 at Ashford works. The
bogies were fitted with reinforcing and new sidespring
hanger brackets and those not already fitted had BTR vibro-dampers added at the
bottom of the sidespring hangers.
Visually the ‘1951 type’ Phase 1 units had roof-mounted lighting
conduit including the piping to the lavatory water tanks. The jumper cable
boxes between units were of the ‘1951-type’ as was the underframe equipment.
The stepboards ran full-length of the underframe. In
later years the stepboards gained a breaks underneath
the toilet window and between the last two seating bays on the driver’s side
when speedometers were fitted.
On all of the Phase 1 units (first and second batches) the
passenger windows were fitted from inside the car and sealed with mastic so
they were almost flush with the bodyside.

Leading
an 8 HAP formation along the Up Fast through Petts Wood on Sunday, 27th
August 1967 is ‘Kent Coast’ Phase 1 ‘Second batch’ unit no.6094; headcode ‘4’
being a Margate to Charing Cross via Dover service. Shewing
signs of acid-wash, no.6094 is the only unit in the formation not equipped
with UIC 1st class cantrail banding; it probably did not receive
this (or a air-horns)
until repainting in blue livery at Eastleigh Works in April 1969. The
second unit is a SR-type 2 HAP in blue livery with yellow warning panels;
making it either unit no.5608, 5610, 5614 or 5617. The former 2 NOL
underframe trussing used on the SR-type units is a dramatic comparison to the
BR vehicles. With
its roof-mounted lighting conduits and continuous stepboards,
the third unit is from the ‘1951’-type Phase 1 ‘First batch’ build. However,
sporting high-level rainstrips the last unit in the
train is clearly a 1963-built Phase 2 ‘4th batch’ unit. © Robert Carroll |
‘1957 type’
Phase 1 units nos.6043 – 6105
(Second
batch 1958)
The second batch of sixty-three units (numbered 6043 – 6105)
were ‘1957 type’ Phase 1 units with updated control equipment
including camshaft control gear and their new bogies incorporated the
modifications already carried out on the ‘1951 type’ units. However, these
were still found to have poor riding qualities and were progressively uprated
to Mark 4 bogies from 1963 during overhauls, though units nos.6042 /6048
/6074 were fitted with Mark 4 bogies by late 1961. These BR Mark 4
bogies were rebuilt Mark 1 bogies with improved damping. These units were
used in conjunction with the ‘1951’ batches on the South Eastern Division to
inaugurate Phase 1 of the Kent Coast Electrification and displace further
2 HAL units to the Central & South Western Divisions to enable the
withdrawal of the 2 NOL units.
With the 4 CEP /4 BEP units programmed to work Victoria Ramgate /Dover fast trains, the primary Kent Coast
rush-hour services as well as Continental Boat Trains to Dover Marine the 2 HAP
units were intended to work other services to Ramsgate and Dover as well as to
Maidstone East and the Sheerness branch.
The additional 2 HAP units were required from 15th June
1959 and despite the first few being delivered from late in 1958, many were not
delivered in time for the start of the new electrification timetable. With only
twenty-seven of the sixty-three 2 HAP units available two trains of 8 HAL
had to be temporarily borrowed by the South Eastern Division until
September 1959, these then working beyond their traditional areas of operation
right through to Ramsgate on stopping services from Charing Cross.
The first few units delivered were initially stored, units nos.6049‑52
being stored at Gatwick by 14th March 1959. A few were put into
traffic at the end of March (units nos.6047 /6048 /6053 /6054) being used,
displacing a few of the ‘1951’ units (some of which were then used for testing
on the newly electrified line) unit nos.6039 being located at Canterbury East
from early March and loco-hauled to test for shoegear clearances.
After the traction current was switched-on from 1st April
1959 the unit ran test trips to Selling and was joined by unit no.6035 from 14th April
1959 and ran further afield. By 15th June 1959 when the units
were needed (34 still had not been delivered - unit nos.6067 and 6070 upwards
being outstanding) the shortfall was made-up by borrowing EPB units,
withdrawing 2 HAP units off the Sevenoaks peak-hour services and the loan
of two 8 HAL trains from the Central section.
Visually the ‘1957 type’ Phase 1 units had no external conduits
save the piping to the lavatory water tanks. The jumper cable boxes between
units were of the ‘1957-type’ as was the underframe equipment. There was a
break in the stepboards where the toilet compartment
was located.
On all of the Phase 1 units (first and second batches) the
passenger windows were fitted from inside the car and sealed with mastic so
they were almost flush with the bodyside.

Phase 2) at East Malling

‘1957 type’ Phase 2 units 6106 ‑ 6146
(Third
batch 1961)
A third batch of forty-one units (numbered 6106 – 6146)
were built in 1961 for Phase 2 of the Kent Coast Electrification scheme.
These were ‘1957 type’ Phase 2 units but to an interim design which
retained certain details of the earlier Phase 1 units and this batch were
fitted with BR Mark 3B motor bogies and Commonwealth bogies at the inner
end of both cars; the bogie under the cab of the DTC being a Mark 3.
Local trains between Ramsgate and Dover were turned over to
electric operation from 2nd January 1961 and 2 HAP stock was
used, spare new ‘phase 2’ CEP units replaced 2 HAP stock on the 5.18pm Cannon
Street to Ramsgate to provide the stock to cover this as no ‘phase 2’ HAP units
had yet been delivered. Again, not all were ready in time for the inauguration
of the electric services on 12th June 1961, only units up to
about 6120 being available, with some ad hoc re-diagramming being done to cover
the shortfall, the final units of this batch not being delivered until January
1962.
Visually the 1961 build of Phase 2 units did not have external
roof conduit. The jumper cable boxes between units were of the ‘1957-type’ as
was the underframe equipment. For all of the batch there was a break in the stepboards where the toilet compartment was located.
However, during production the designed changed from a
continuous gutter to individual gutters above each doorway. This change
occurred after unit no.6126 (outshopped 6th July 1961) but before
unit no.6141 (outshopped 25th November 1961); information to the
exact unit change is sought. It is also of note that this change took place on
the Berkshire 3H units with nos.1127 – 1130 (released between 9th
& 16th June 1962) having the shorter gutter type, but with
nos.1131-on (also released 16th June 1962) reverting to continuous
gutters. Accordingly, Eastleigh Works Records do not provide a clue as to the
HAP unit changeover point.

In 1980 a number of these units (three? including no.6171)
were fitted-out with surplus RT bus and at least one with 1938 tube stock
moquette (details?)
On all of the Phase 2 units (third and fourth batches) the
passenger windows were fitted with a rubber gasket resulting in an external
window frame. They also had one-piece lavatory windows without sliding
ventilators. Phase 2 units were also equipped with Commonwealth bogies at the inner
end of each car.

‘1957 type’ Phase 2 units nos.6147 ‑ 6173
(Fourth
batch 1963)
A fourth batch of twenty-seven units outshopped in 1963 (numbers
6147 – 6173) went to the Central & South Western divisions and
were ‘1957 type’ Phase 2 units with detail differences from the
earlier batches. This batch reverted to the use of BR Mark 4 motor bogies.
Units from no.6106 onwards were built with conduits and wiring for Westinghouse
AWS equipment, though this was sealed out of use and remained so on virtually
all these units; only four (nos.6112 /6126 /6141 /6168) having it made
operational in the 1980‘s. New units were loco-hauled from Eastleigh to
Selhurst, sometimes in mixed formations with new 4 CEP & 4 BEP
units, where shoegear was fitted and initial testing carried out.
Visually the 1963-build of Phase 2 units did not have external
roof conduit. All were built with individual gutters for each door. However,
they were additionally equipped with roof-mounted rainstrips
(was this a modification made during construction?). With the reversion
to continuous gutters on the 3H Berkshire units it is therefore surmised that
individual gutters were not proving effective.
These 1963-build units also featured a modified cab end
arrangement with a smaller headcode window and slightly tapered windscreens.
The jumper cable boxes between units were of the ‘1957-type’ as was the
underframe equipment. The stepboards ran full-length
of the underframe.
On all of the Phase 2 units (third and fourth batches) the
passenger windows were fitted with a rubber gasket resulting in an external
window frame. They also had one-piece lavatory windows without sliding ventilators.
Phase 2 units were also equipped with Commonwealth bogies at the inner end of
each car.

no.6173 was the very last 2 HAP constructed at Eastleigh works being released
from there on 8th June 1963. Here it brings-up the rear of a 6 HAP
formation departing from Sittingbourne (heading for Ramsgate) on Monday, 4
March 1983. A scene repeated countless times from 1958 until 1983. There is a fine display
of both single and double-version SR station lamps with 8, 10 & 12-car BR-black
stopping marks attached (the loop’s 8-car marker being set further down). In the down sidings

be seen; its livery is actually light blue in colour! © John Atkinson |

The layout and
dimensions of all units was the same, but there were a number of significant detail
differences between the different batches. The 1951 type units had
roof-mounted lighting conduit whereas the 1957 units had a much tidier
appearance with no external cables, though 1957 Phase 1 units had some
external pipework in connection with the lavatory fillers on the DTC vehicle.
Units in the nos.6106 ‑ 6146
batch had completely clean roofs with only the ventilators whilst the final
batch were similar but fitted with additional rainstrips.
Phase 1 units
up to no.6105 (first and second batches) had windows which were fitted from
inside the car so they were almost flush with the bodyside and sealed with
mastic, whilst Phase 2 units (third and fourth batch) had them fitted
within a frame by rubber gasket with an external window frame as a result.
Fourth batch
units nos.6147 to 6173 also featured a modified cab end arrangement with a
smaller headcode window and slightly tapered windscreens. However, third batch
units nos.6106 ‑ 6146 (although Phase 2) retained the
former style with deeper headcode and rectangular windscreens.
Third batch
units nos.6106 ‑ 6146 did have many other Phase 2 features
such as the one-piece toilet window without sliding ventilators.
To improve the
riding qualities of the third and fourth batch (Phase 2) units nos.6106 ‑ 6173
were equipped with Commonwealth bogies at the inner end of each car, increasing
the weight of each vehicle by one ton.
Motor Brake Seconds (MBS)
The motor brake
second in all units was to the same layout as those of the earlier 2 EPB
units and seated 84 and shared the diagram number 400. These cars were
63' 11˝" long and weighed 40 tons, although those fitted with a
Commonwealth bogie at the non-driving end weighed 41 tons as well as two
EE 507 motors to express gear ratio. The three-aside seats were offside
when the motorcoach was leading.
Driving Trailer Composite (DTC)
The driving
trailer composite was also 63' 11˝" long and weighed 30 tons
(31 tons on Commonwealth fitted vehicles). The internal layout consisted
of a driving cab entered from an entrance vestibule behind, three first class
compartments, the outermost seating 7, the other two 6 and joined by a side
corridor on the nearside (when DTC leading).
This corridor
led to a lavatory which was situated towards the centre of the car and side by
side with another for the use of second-class passengers, though there was no
through access from the first-class section to the second-class saloon, which
was of five bays with seats for 50. The three aside seats were nearside when
the DTC was leading so the gangways were offset to the same side in both
vehicles of the unit. The diagram number issued was 441.
2 HAP units
Overall unit length
was 132' 8˝", the two cars being coupled by the three-link chain and
centre buffer arrangement as in the EPB units. Overall unit weight was
70 tons or 72 tons if equipped with Commonwealth bogies. Seating
capacity was 19 first and 134 second.
These units
were given electrical codes for each vehicle from new. Units nos.6172 &
6173 were outshopped with fluorescent lighting, these two being the last units
to be built at Eastleigh works and outshopped during May 1963.
Under the
initial BR TOPS classification system in 1972, the 2 HAP units became
Class 412 (1951 units) and Class 424 (1957 units), but these were revised in
1975 to Class 414/2 (1951 units) and 414/3 (1957 units).

Into Service
When delivered,
the ‘1951’ units were based at Gillingham and Streatham Hill working on the
former 2 HAL diagrams. With the completion of the Kent Coast
electrification scheme the ‘phase 1’ & ‘phase 2’ units were based
at the newly opened Ramsgate depot, which also progressively gained
responsibility of some of the ‘1951’ units. The final batches were maintained
at Wimbledon Park when working on the South Western division or at
Streatham Hill or Lovers Walk (Brighton) when allocated to the Central
division.
Units nos.6088
/6097 /6103 /6110 were loaned to the SWD for a short while in June 1961 to
cover Ascot Races requirements and 10 new units went to the SWD for the Summer
1963 timetable and other new units nos.6151 /6154 /6170‑6173 went to
Streatham Hill for use on night trains to Gatwick Airport, soon being joined by
6153/6168 when some daytime trains were also added to the diagrams.
Programmed
running gear overhauls were dealt with at Chart Leacon
(Ashford) and bodywork overhauls at Eastleigh works. Accident damage was dealt
with at either Eastleigh and from about 1970 at Slade Green, whilst other
unscheduled repairs were carried out at Selhurst, where some units were also
repainted from time to time. When the Bournemouth line was electrified, there
were some alterations to 2 HAP workings on the South Western division and
these units took over the Lymington branch line from 2nd June
1967.
Units worked in
all combinations, from solo on branch line duties such as the Maidstone West to
Paddock Wood line, up to six units together (12 HAP) on some heavily
loaded rush-hour trains; the seating capacity of this formation being 114 first
and 804 second.
They also
worked some trains in combination with 4 CEP units, and a lesser number
with 4 EPB units; some trains to Gillingham/Maidstone being rostered for
6 HAP + 4 EPB and splitting at Strood. However, being fitted with
express gear ratio motor bogies, the 2 HAP units were not suitable substitutes
for a 2 EPB unit in a 10-car formation suburban train.

Downgrading to SAP
(and return to HAP units)
During April
/May 1974 all the ‘1951’ units were downgraded to all second class and
reclassified as 2 SAP Class 418/1 and renumbered 5901 ‑ 5940
(units 6022 & 6023 were not included as they were being used at this time
for experiments with tightlock couplings and were not
in public traffic). Two 1957 units were also done as 5941/2 and Class 418/2. In
this form, the DTC (now DTS) had the armrests sewn-up in the first class
compartments which now seated eight (two compartments) and 10 (the outermost
compartment) giving a total of 76 seats in this vehicle and a unit total of
160. A revised diagram number (481) was issued.
These units
were transferred to suburban duties on the SWD displacing 4 SUB units for
withdrawal, but the units retained their express gear ratios. Further 1957 type
units were similarly treated in April/May 1977 and renumbered 5943 ‑ 5951,
though 6053 ran as 5951 for only a short period. However, all were reconverted
to 2 HAP in April/May 1980 with the former seating arrangements restored.
2 HAP units 6045 ‑ 6054 also moved to the SWD in May 1974
for use as main line strengthening units and for the Lymington branch. Their
place on the SED was taken by newly delivered 4 VEP units.

TOPS
Units received
the TOPS class number 414, later 414/2 for the ‘1951 type’ units and 414/3
for ‘1957 type’ units.
CAP units
(paired
HAP units)
In May 1982, twenty-six
‘1951 type’ units and twenty-two ‘1957 Phase 1’ units were formed
into 4 CAP units, pairs of 2 HAP units permanently coupled with the
motorcoaches in the centre to keep the brakevans
together; these units were used on the Coastway
services based on Brighton. They were classified as class 413/2 (1951) and
413/3 (1957) and numbered 3201 ‑ 3213 & 3301 ‑ 3311.
These units
later moved to the South Eastern once again, being allocated at various
times to either Gillingham or Ramsgate depots. Units 6170 and 6173 were the
last two 2 HAP units to work from Ramsgate, their final day in traffic was
1st October 1984.
Asbestos Removal
All 2 HAP
units were built containing blue asbestos insulation; the 1957 units being
particularly badly contaminated. Due to the high cost of removal a start was
made on withdrawal of units, mostly from the later batches from January 1982.
However, quite a number of the older units were stripped of asbestos between
1981 and 1983 during C1A overhauls at Eastleigh; these overhauls taking between
two and three months to complete. This stripping including all those units used
in the 4 CAP units and these units lasted in service until the early
1990's.

HAP unit no.6071 (phase 1 batch 2) enters Tonbridge on a Charing Cross to
Ashford stopping service (Tuesday, 29th May 1979). After a further
three more years as a 2 HAP, the motorcoach (61269) was rebuilt at Eastleigh
into GLV 68500 for Gat-Ex unit no.9101; this being the first of the ten
converted. Unusual
but by no means unique, all three shunting signals are full-rounds rather
than the more-commonplace half0rounds used in DC electrified areas. In
addition, all three are floodlit. © John Atkinson |

Ten MBS
vehicles from withdrawn units were extensively rebuilt as GLVs for the Victoria
to Gatwick service from May 1984. In order of conversion these being from phase
1 batch 2 units nos.6071, 6083, 6076, 6079, 6088, 6101, 6094, 6069, 6074 and
6082.

2 HAP
renumbering
During 1987, the remaining 2 HAP units (all now operating
on the SWD were renumbered) the only 1951 unit becoming 4201, and the 1957
units becoming 4301 ‑ 4322.
Some of these units were transferred to the SED in September
1991 and some were formed into further 4 CAP units numbered 3321 ‑ 3325
and 3333 (a 1951/1957 hybrid unit), these later 4 CAP units differing from
the earlier ones by having their motorcoaches on the outer ends.
When withdrawals commenced, many units spent some time in store
and those with Commonwealth bogies were sent for scrapping via Swindon where
these bogies were recovered for use in the 4 CEP
refurbishment programme.
Many withdrawn units were taken Eastleigh for body stripping and
their seats, heaters etc. were removed for further use in facelifted BR type
2 EPB and 4 EPB units which were having compartment accommodation
removed at this time.
Unit formations were as follows, with
the 2 SAP number and 4 CAP number shown where applicable.

HAP units at a misty Maidstone West
The

provided an early indication to station
staff that there was no brake van at

AWS
From about
1980, units in the 6001 ‑ 6105 batches began to be fitted with
simplified AWS equipment, those working on the SWD having it brought into use
on fitment, those working on CD and SED had the equipment activated about
August 1981.
AWS equipment
fitted /made operational in these units as follows.
Quite a few were
not done before being reformed into 4 CAP units and are shown thus, whilst
units from 6106 upwards had some components for the equipment from new but it
was never made operational before withdrawal.

MBS 61651 of 2 HAP unit no.6109
having collided with the buffer stops at Strood early 1967. It is understood that the (Faversham)
Driver believed he was propelling along the Down line towards Maidstone West
in order to cross over to the Up line and return to London. However, he was
routed into the sidings (now lifted) by Strood Junction signal box (now
abolished) with the result shown. © unknown |
Units were delivered new in all-over in the post-1957 (darker)
BR(s) green livery with phase 2 units additionally having UIC yellow First-Class
cantrail bands.
2 HAP units started receiving small yellow warning panels on cab
ends from about 1964-on. Applied to many Southern Region 2 & 3-car units
with yellow warning panels /ends the inverted
black triangle provided an early indication to station staff that there was no
brake van at the other end of the unit.
All units were steadily repainted into overall blue livery with
full yellow ends from 1967 onwards, the majority going straight from green with
yellow panels to blue with yellow ends, though the following gained full yellow
ends whilst still in green livery: 6004 /6007 /6009, 6129 /6139 /6146 /6147
/6153 /6160 /6168 /6172.
Unit 6160 was the last unit to run in green in this condition
being repainted blue about March 1971, whilst 6165 had been the last green with
yellow panels in February 1971.
A number of ‘1951 type’ units were painted blue with blue
ends and small yellow panels, 6020 being the first in July 1966, these being:
6005 /6006 /6010 /6012 /6018 /6020 /6021 /6027 /6030 /6036 /6037 /6038 /6041,
all these later gaining a further repaint with full yellow ends; 6030 being the
last to run in this condition until about May 1971.
From late 1980 units started to gain blue /grey livery, the
first being 6120 in June; nearly all eventually being so painted apart from a
few early withdrawals still in all-blue. With the exception of 6013 (4201), all
units surviving to be renumbered into the 43xx series received Network South
East livery.
