2 HAP, 2 SAP & 4 CAP
(6001-6173)

In 1974 2 HAP unit no.6039 passes the former goods shed at Farningham Road leading a Gillingham to Victoria train (headcode 90). Its roof-mounted lighting conduit clearly indicates it was a 1st batch ‘1951 type’ Phase 1 unit.

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. The Batch /Phases being as follows:

1^st Batch	Phase 1	1957	Nos.6001 - 6042
2^nd Batch	Phase 1	1958	Nos.6043 - 6105
3^rd Batch	Phase 2	1961	Nos.6106 - 6146
4^th Batch	Phase 2	1963	Nos.6147 - 6173

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.

First Batch	(1957)	Phase 1 1951-type	nos.6001-6042
Second Batch	(1958)	Phase 1 1957-type	nos.6043-6105
Third Batch	(1961)	Phase 2 1957-type	nos.6106-6146
Fourth Batch	(1963)	Phase 2 1957-type	nos.6147-6173

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.

1^st Batch units 1957 nos.6001 - 6042
(Phase 1 ‘1951 type’)

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 7^th August 1957 and the first batch of four units entered service from Monday 18^th 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 9^th 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 sidelight (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 quarter lights were fitted from inside the car (mounted in a rubber U-shaped loop clamped to the bodyside by a steel hoop bolted to the bodyside with machine screws) 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, 27^th 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 1^st 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.

2^nd Batch units 1958 nos.6043 – 6105
(Phase 1 ‘1957 type’ 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 15^th 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 14^th 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 1^st April 1959 the unit ran test trips to Selling and was joined by unit no.6035 from 14^th April 1959 and ran further afield. By 15^th 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 sidelights (windows) were fitted from inside the car and sealed with mastic so they were almost flush with the bodyside.

3^rd Batch 1961 units 6106 ‑ 6146
(Phase 2 ‘1957 type’)

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 2^nd 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 12^th 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 6^th July 1961) but before unit no.6141 (outshopped 25^th 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 9^th & 16^th June 1962) having the shorter gutter type, but with nos.1131-on (also released 16^th 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 sidelights were fitted with a rubber gasket resulting in an external sidelight (window) frame. They also had one-piece lavatory sidelights without sliding ventilators. Phase 2 units were also equipped with Commonwealth bogies at the inner end of each car.

4^th Batch 1963 units nos.6147 ‑ 6173
(Phase 2 ‘1957 type’)

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 aperture and slightly tapered driver’s forward observation lights. 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 sidelights were fitted with a rubber gasket resulting in an external sidelight frame. They also had one-piece lavatory sidelights without sliding ventilators. Phase 2 units were also equipped with Commonwealth bogies at the inner end of each car.

Unit no.6173 was the very last 2 HAP constructed at Eastleigh works being released from there on 8^th 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).

4^th Batch	75995 - 76021	DTC	30712	5033	25-Jul-61	441	DAD-1A

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 sidelights 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 sidelight frame as a result.

Fourth batch units nos.6147 to 6173 also featured a modified cab end arrangement with a smaller headcode aperture and slightly tapered driver’s forward observation lights. However, third batch units nos.6106 ‑ 6146 (although Phase 2) retained the former style with deeper headcode and rectangular forward driver’s observation lights.

Third batch units nos.6106 ‑ 6146 did have many other Phase 2 features such as the one-piece toilet sidelights 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' 11½" 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' 11½" 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' 8½", 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 lamps, 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).

Saturday, 3^rd June 1972 and 2 HAP number 6064 arrives at Ashford with the 10:10 to Margate (1958 second batch ‘1957 type’ Phase 1). Edward Heath was Prime Minister whilst across the pond Richard Nixon was President. One of the most popular programs on UK television was Bless this House starring Diana Coupland and Sid James.

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 2^nd 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.

Red Blinds, Yellow Warning Panels and Whistles

The original large numeral headcode blinds used in 1^st and 2^nd Batch units did not include red blanks and units were required to display a tail-lamp. In 1958 trials had commenced on some 6-car Hastings diesel sets using Double Red Blanks instead of a tail lamp. Once these were accepted, from May 1960 the roller blinds on the EP stock were swiftly changed as this was a relative simple task.

The new blinds included the use of a different (visually more-squat) font and contained 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, Red blank, White blank, Black blank, 5, 6 7, 8. 9 on each roller; the Red blanks (etc) being placed mid-roll to reducing the winding required.

It is not recorded if the change in typeface was to provide an immediate indication to staff as to whether the roll contained red blanks or not. A few units retained the early style headcode blinds into 1962.

Her Majesty’s Railway Inspectorate required the red blanks /tail-lamps to be illuminated for at least 30 minutes after any traction failure and some units such as the few 4 SUB units equipped with roller blinds (which were never equipped with a battery backup) ended their working lives still using oil-lit tail-lamps.

The fitment of yellow warning panels by the Southern Region on multiple unit stock commenced in earnest late-1963 and while the earliest records of 2 HAP units start in 1965 (during works visits) some yellow warning panels were painted ad-hoc in depots resulting in units having yellow warning panels but not equipped with air-horns or UIC yellow ‘1^st-class’ cantrail banding.

Around 1963 the whistles started being replaced with two-tone air horns; some retaining their whistles into 1966. Undertaken in-works, their fitment often coincided with yellow warning panels and UIC yellow ‘1^st-class’ cantrail banding.

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 1^st 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.

2 HAP unit no.6071 (phase 1 batch 2) enters Tonbridge on a Charing Cross to Ashford stopping service (Tuesday, 29^th 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.

Guard’s Luggage Vans (GLVs)

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.

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.

2 HAP Liveries

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.

2 SAP Conversions

Units nos. 5901 - 5951

The 2 SAP units were diagrammed on the South Western division from 6^th May 1974 until 11^th May 1980. Most were converted to 2 SAP at Wimbledon Park depot, though a few were done during overhaul at Eastleigh. Most were reconverted back to 2 HAP at Slade Green depot, though again a few were done at Eastleigh and some at Wimbledon Park depot.

Conversion locations are shown thus:

WD	Wimbledon Park depot.
EH	BREL Eastleigh works.
SG	Slade Green depot.
SU	Selhurst depot.

Units 5901 ‑ 5940 were Class 418/1, units 5941 ‑ 5953 were Class 418/2.

Conversions for 5943 ‑ 5951 officially from 21^st May 1977 and believed all done at Wimbledon Park depot.

Unit 5917 was scrapped as a 2 SAP in 1978 following a side-scrape at Wimbledon Park.

In February 1982 unit no.6142 entered departmental service as no.053; seen here at Bognor Regis with no.054 (ex.6116) sandwiching the High-Speed Track Recording Coach (HSTRC). Note unit no.053 (6142) is equipped with short individual gutters (instead of a continuous gutter); this change occurring during production of the Phase 2 Batch 3 units (unit no.6126 had full-length gutters and no.6142 had short individual gutters so which was the first unit to change?)

On 2^nd February 1984 unit no.6116 was renumbered as no.054 and is seen here at Bognor Regis with unit no.053 (ex.6142) sandwiching the HSTRC. Apart from non-electrified lines where ‘Hastings’ motorcoaches were employed, HAP units were regularly used with HSTRC (DB999550) because of their availability.

High-Speed Track Recording Coach (HSTRC) DB999550 was the last Mk2 built; being specifically constructed for departmental purpose. Seen here at Oxted in December 1984 (between motorcoaches of 6S no.1006), DB999550 was equipped with the necessary control jumpers for BR(S) multiple-unit operation; the high-level 27-way jumper can be clearly seen. Now painted yellow, this car is still in use.

2 HAP Units Renumbered 1987 /1988

Units remaining in traffic as 2 HAPs during the summer of 1987 were all officially renumbered into a new series 4201 (sole ‘1951’ survivor) and 4301 ‑ 4322 (the ‘1957’ units) from October 1987, though a few had been done earlier, no.4317 carrying its new number 2^nd May 1987, and some were not finally renumbered until September 1988.

Units from this batch remaining in traffic after 1^st April 1994 were allocated to the ownership of the Eversholt train leasing company under the BR privatisation arrangements, these being shown by an 'E' after the unit number. The four remaining units in traffic in December 1994 were ‘off lease’ from 31-Dec-94 and last worked in traffic on 23-Dec-94, prior to disposal for scrapping.

However, a shortage of new Networker Class 465 units due to late delivery led to all four being reinstated for suburban duties from 16^th January 1995, all now being downgraded to all‑standard class with the DTS now seating 69 giving a unit total of 153. All four were finally withdrawn during March 1995, units 4308 and 4311 being stored, initially at Chart Leacon, then at Strawberry Hill from 6-Jun-95 for possible sale. 4322 was first into NSE livery in February 1989 with all so painted except no.4201.

4 CAP unit no.3208 pulls away from East Croydon on Thursday 21th April 1983 working a Reigate to London Bridge (via Tulse Hill) train.

This was one of the four CAP units in half & half livery when first formed (in May 1982), this one from old HAP units no.6037 (blue) and no.6033 (blue/grey).

The seemingly random pairings of units to form these was governed by several factors, trying to pair units with roughly the same 'GO' dates, whether they had been asbestos stripped yet or not, whether they had AWS or not and their liveries. No.3208 got a paint at Selhurst in December that year so only ran thus for 18 months.

Note that this end of the unit had the former first class downgraded to standard this taking place from August 1982. They got restored to Firsts again when these units transferred to the South Eastern.

4 CAP Units
Nos.3201–3213, 3301–3311, 3321–3325 & 3333

The 4 CAP units were introduced in April /May 1982 based at Brighton depot for use on the Coastway services, hence the designation CAP (Coastway HAP). They were formed of pairs of 2 HAP units semi‑permanently coupled, motorcoach to motorcoach; one of the aims of these units being to get the luggage vans of trains together at the centre of the unit to avoid delays loading mails and parcels.

There were very few modifications done to the former 2 HAP units, the buckeye release chains were removed to prevent inadvertent uncoupling of the pair and in one motorcoach the former guard's brake had certain items of emergency equipment and loudaphone and starting bell switches removed. The former cabs were unaltered, but in the course of time, many were steadily robbed of equipment and fittings, eventually making them unusable.

Twenty-four units were formed, thirteen ‘1951 type’ units numbered 3201 – 3213 (class designation 413/2) and eleven ‘1957 type’ units numbered 3301 – 3311 (class designation 413/3). In each unit the higher numbered of the former 2 HAP was the unit with the brake van converted to luggage only.

Each unit seated thirty-eight first-class and two-hundred & sixty-eight second-class, weighed 140 tons and was 265' 4" long. However, from about August 1982 the first-class seating in the DTC of the unit with the luggage van was downgraded to second, though there were no modifications to the seating so only nineteen additional second-class seats were provided; this DTC now seating sixty-nine second and the altered unit total now being nineteen first and two-hundred & eighty-six second.

Electrical vehicle codes were not altered for any vehicles following the formation of the 4 CAP units, despite the modifications and downgradings involved.

The seemingly random pairings of units to form the 4 CAPs was a result of trying to get units with similar overhaul dates together, also those with AWS already fitted into pairs. This resulted in several units, 3208 /3209 /3304 /3306 being formed with two cars in blue /grey livery and two in all‑blue livery. Units nos.3201 /3202 /3204 /3205 /3211 /3301 /3305 /3307 /3308 /3309 /3310 /7 3311 were all blue /grey and the remainder were all‑blue. Four units (nos.3203 /3303 /3306 & 3311) did have AWS equipment at one end only, though a programme of modifications soon saw all units fitted with this equipment.

All but four of the 2 HAP units selected to run as part of 4 CAP units had earlier been stripped of their blue asbestos insulation during heavy overhauls during the early 1980's; the outstanding two 4 CAP units being asbestos stripped at Eastleigh by January 1983.

Units were overhauled into blue /grey livery and the disused centre cab ends were painted blue, though some units had them painted yellow in error and a few had them painted black. However, the former driver’s forward observation lights were not overpainted.

Three ‘1957 type’ units were transferred to Ramsgate in October 1982 and the remainder followed in May 1984 being displaced by a cascade of stock following the introduction of the new Class 488 /489 stock on the Victoria to Gatwick Airport service.

The displaced 4 CAP units allowed further asbestos contaminated 2 HAP units to be withdrawn for scrapping and the type were eliminated from South Eastern division workings by October 1984. From late-1984, the downgraded first-class DTS had the seating restored to first class (owing to problems with short platforms positioning the first-class off the platform end at certain stations) and the unit seating total was once again thirty-eight first and two-hundred & sixty-eight second-class.

From November 1989 units receiving heavy overhauls at Eastleigh again had one DTS downgraded to second-class and the seating rebuilt to give two compartments of eight seats and one of ten; this car now seating seventy-six giving a unit total of nineteen first-class and two-hundred & ninety-three second. Once again, the vehicle in the luggage van unit was the one downgraded.

From 14^th August 1989 all the units were reallocated from Ramsgate to Gillingham depot though their duties remained unchanged.

The first units to be withdrawn went in May 1990 and others followed steadily as displaced indirectly by new class 465 /466 Networker units. Most units had by now been repainted into Network South East livery and early withdrawals were of blue/grey examples. The final unit was withdrawn from service in February 1995. Units in NSE livery did not have the upswept red band at the disused cab ends in the middle of the unit.

From 8^th July 1991 the 16 surviving units were displaced to suburban duties by the allocation of 4 CIG units to Ramsgate and the remaining first class downgraded to second without rebuilding the seating giving a unit total of 312 standard. These units then replaced further 4 EPB and 4 COM units for disposal.

In October 1991 a further six 4 CAP units were formed following the transfer of all remaining 2 HAP units from the South Western to South Eastern division. These units differed from the earlier ones by being formed with the motorcoaches outermost and were class 413/4 (nos.3321 ‑ 3325) and 413/5 (no.3333) this unit being a short lived 1951 /1957 stock hybrid and with two cars blue /grey and two in NSE colours. These too had their former first class accommodation downgraded to standard; now seating 305 as the seating in their compartments had not been previously altered.

Under the BR privatisation arrangements on 1^st April 1994 surviving units were allocated to the ownership of the Eversholt train leasing company (including one withdrawn unit) and these are marked (E) against the unit number. Unit formations were as follows (date of formation below unit number).

BR design codes shown are those as revised about 1989 prior to the downgrading of one of the DTCs with rebuilt seating.

2 HAP in Model Form

In 4mm DC Kits produced a kit of the 2 HAP although availability of these is uncertain. In March 2016 Bachmann announced their 4mm 2 HAP essentially using their 2 EPB motorcoach and the Kernow (Bachmann) 2H driving trailer composite. In terms of Bachmann’s model of unit no.6061 (which was released at the end of 2020) the underframes, car inner end and roof details all appear to be correct for a second batch 1957-type Phase 1 unit. However, model railway Ewhurst Green has already converted one to a Phase 1 Batch ‘1951’ type. The units announced are listed in below original number numerical order /catalogue number:

(Catalogue number 31-390) October 2020
6063	Blue /Grey Painted blue /grey c.May 1981 (from blue livery). Unit no.6063 was a 2^nd Batch 1957-type Phase 1 unit so did not have roof-mounted lighting conduits but was fitted with external water-tank filler pipes on the DTC. Unit no.6063 received AWS in March 1985 before renumbering as 4303 in October 1987.	(Catalogue number 31-391) October 2020
