New 4 EPB units
(Southern Railway design on reconditioned underframes)
During October 1951 the first of a new type of 4-car
suburban unit was completed at Eastleigh. Numbered 5001 it was constructed on
reconditioned underframes from Lancing. The building continued until 1957 when
two-hundred & thirteen units had been completed, these being
numbered 5001 - 5053 & 5101 - 5260. Overall dimensions
and internal layout were very similar to contemporary 4 SUB units.
However, units were fitted with a self-lapping electro-pneumatic brake in
addition to the Westinghouse automatic air brake fitted to all earlier electric
multiple units, this led to the unit designation ‘4 EPB’.
Externally the units closely resembled the 4 SUB units
still being constructed, except at the unit ends where the cab and brake area
were redesigned. In order to reduce draughts, the cab
had no external doors, the driver entering via the guard’s brake. Sliding side
windows were fitted along with a roller blind route indicator replacing the
opal glass and stencil arrangement of earlier units. The route indicator had
two main apertures capable of showing a single number each, these were
surmounted by a horizontal aperture fitted with a blind capable of showing
different lengths of bar or dots as appropriate.
Buckeye automatic couplers were fitted at unit ends, above which
was a Pullman type rubbing plate, the side buffers provided being usually in
the retracted position out of use. The buckeye could be lowered revealing a
central drawhook; this being used with the side
buffers for coupling to non-buckeye fitted stock or locomotives, although the
units could only run in multiple with buckeye fitted stock. High level air
pipes and 27-way control jumpers were provided, so staff did not need to go
between units at track level to couple and uncouple them.
Units were close-coupled within, using the standard suburban
centre-buffer and three-link chain arrangement: this being bolted with shackles
underneath the headstock (keeping the centre-buffer under compression). On cab
ends there was the usual central drawhook
with side buffers. The driving trailer had a centre buffer whilst the
motorcoaches had a rubbing plate.
Each unit was 257' 5" long, identical to the
4 SUB units. Trailers were 62' 0" long and Motorcoaches
62' 6". Units weighed 136 tons, Motorcoaches weighing
40 tons and trailers 28. Two EE507 250hp motors were located in the motor bogie which was at unit ends below the guard’s brake, units nos.5001 - 5053
being fitted with ‘Eastern’ type motor bogies (recovered from withdrawn units
in the no.1401 - 1534 batch) whilst the remainder had the ‘Central’
type; nos.5001 - 5053 being altered also to this type between 1961
and 1964.
With suburban gear ratio, the units had a balancing speed of
63 mph on level track and the maximum permitted speed was 75 mph. A
motor-generator (MG) was fitted to each Motorcoach which provided current at
70 volts for control and lighting purposes and charged the batteries
carried on each Motorcoach (which provided current for control and emergency
lighting for a limited period when the traction current was not available).
Each Motorcoach also carried a Westinghouse DH25 air compressor for the air
braking supply.
The internal layout of the units was similar
to the main batches of 4 SUB units with two eight-bay saloon Motorcoaches
each seating eighty-two, a 10-compartment trailer seating one-hundred
& twenty and a 10-bay saloon trailer seating one-hundred & two,
giving a unit total of three-hundred & eighty-six. Motorcoaches had the
gangway offset to the opposite side compared with 4 SUB motorcoaches, this
being a result of different floor-trap layouts, the gangway being offset to the
left when looking along the coach from the cab end. The saloon trailer had its
gangway offset to the same side as the adjacent motorcoach.

4 EPB Order Batches
The 50xx units were ordered in three sub-batches,
5001 - 5015 to order number HO 3638 (this order included the
last batch of forty-five 4 SUB units nos.4710 - 4754),
5016 - 5033 and 5034 - 5053 to order number HO 3756,
units from no.5016 upwards having different interior fittings with plywood
veneer side panels and white plastic ceilings and modified luggage racks with
an upwards extension to anchor them to the ceilings; the first fifteen having
identical interior fittings to the last built 4 SUB units from no.4735
upwards (i.e. cream coloured ceilings and rexine
covered side panelling). The cabside ventilators on
unit nos.5016 upwards (above the drivers sliding side light) were also to a
modified design.
The compartment trailers of nos.5001 - 5033 were modified
vehicles removed from ‘augmented’ 4 SUB units; those in nos.5034 - 5053
were new. The saloon vehicles were new bodies mounted mostly on reconditioned
underframes, though a few were new underframes. The first nine units were all
completed with their cars numbered onwards in the 4 SUB series but all
were altered prior to the units entering traffic (nos.5001 & 5002 at
Selhurst, the others before leaving Eastleigh works).
Further batches of units were ordered as nos.5101 - 5105
(HO 3756), 5106 - 5117, 5118 - 5137,
5138 - 5155 (all to HO 4016), 5156 - 5205
(HO 4099), 5206 - 5215 (HO 4172) &
5216 - 5260 (HO 4173). Interiors of all units were similar to those of no.5016 upwards, but all units from no.5101
upwards were fitted from new with ‘Central’ type motor bogies.
Units from no.5118 upwards had the whistles mounted horizontally
(not vertically) and those from no.5138 upwards had cantrail rainstrips and no bodyside MG air intake grille on motorcoach
bodysides (earlier units later had this panelled over during overhaul) as this
was found to allow water to get into the MG causing flashovers.

Units from number 5186 upwards did not have a duplicate jumper
set on the cab end and unit no.5216 upwards again included a compartment
trailer modified on removal from withdrawn ‘augmented’ 4 SUB units. Unit
numbers 5001 - 5050 & 5101 - 5104 were new with SR
style seating upholstery; nos.5051 - 5053 and no.5105 upwards having
a BR pattern, though many different varieties of seat coverings appeared later
during overhauls.
With the exception of the ‘augmentation trailers’ converted
from 4 SUB to 4 EPB operation, all the vehicles of these units
utilised reconditioned underframes which had originally run under wooden bodied
cars in the 3-car suburban fleet; these latterly having been themselves
augmented to 4 SUB by the insertion of an all-steel trailer. Many of these
frames were originally newly built at Lancing. However, the batch which had
been constructed at Ashford were also utilised, with some small dimensional
differences between these and the Lancing product being eliminated during their
reconditioning at Lancing prior to the 4 EPB bodies being constructed upon
them.
Disposal of the wooden bodied vehicles took place mostly at
Newhaven though some earlier ones were broken-up at either Horley or
Lancing works; their underframes were taken to Lancing, partly dismantled,
overhauled and rebuilt with additional strengthening.
Underframes were then moved to Eastleigh where the new 4 EPB bodies were
built onto them. A few of the underframes came from 2 NOL units; in a few
instances former Motorcoach frames were used under trailer cars, although the
reverse did not happen.

Into Service
Unit number 5001 was released from Eastleigh Works on 19th
November 1951 (to undertake testing) and entered service in February 1952 with units
gradually took over the Waterloo - Guildford (via Cobham)
service; all of the first fifteen being in service by
October 1952. Unit nos.5002 & 5005 entered traffic from 28th
April 1952, unit nos.5003 & 5004 from 5th May 1952, nos.5006 &
5007 from 6th May 1952 and nos.5008 & 5009 from c.26th
May 1952. Unit nos.5001 /5002 /5006 & 5007 were delivered in a lighter
yellowish green livery, all others being in early BR(S) green. Unit no.5016
upwards started to be delivered from April 1953, the pause in construction
being due to a steel shortage; units were then delivered steadily until the
last (no.5260) arrived in March 1957.
About fifty-five units were required on the SWD, initially unit
nos.5001 - 5053 & 5101 - 5104 but subsequent deliveries
displaced the ‘Eastern’ bogie fitted nos.5001 - 5053 batch to the SED
from the highest numbered downwards until the SWD had unit nos.5101 - 5155.
4 EPB units took over the Hounslow Loop service for a while to release
4 SUB units to cover for 2 NOL units being modified at this time with
the fitting of compressor governors.
The influx of 4 EPB units onto the SED enabled a start to
be made with the ‘10-car scheme’. This scheme also required the delivery of the
BR pattern 2 EPB units to run in conjunction with the SR type 4 EPBs
and was introduced in stages as engineering works were completed on the routes
concerned. The first phase was ready in June 1954 when the Charing Cross
to Dartford via Bexleyheath, and Orpington & Bromley North routes were
turned over to 10-car trains in the peak hours. This was followed in June 1955
by the Sidcup route to Dartford and operation on some Caterham & Tattenham Corner services.
The next stage was inaugurated from the 11th June
1956 involving the Woolwich and Greenwich lines to Dartford and the lines
onwards to Gillingham, the final stage was ready in April 1957, this clearing
the lines into Cannon Street and the Mid-Kent and Sevenoaks lines. On
completion of the 10-car scheme, 132 units were required on the SED and 10-car
trains were all diagrammed to be formed of two 4 EPB and one 2 EPB
unit, though trains with one 4 EPB and three 2 EPB units were not
uncommon.
Ten new units delivered early in 1956 had gone to the Central Division
for the Caterham & Tattenham Corner lines
where 10-car trains were operated between London Bridge & Purley where
they split into two portions. The allocation on the SWD had also risen to about
75 by the time all the units were in service.
Electrical codes, first used on new Kent Coast stock were
allocated to all EPB vehicles from about 1963.
Re-diagramming of units to simplify the stock workings took
place, and by the Summer 1960 timetable only four 4 EPB units (nos.5120, 5167,
5193 & 5253) were working on the SWD (alongside 2 EPB unit nos.5651 –
5684), all others being concentrated on CD and SED workings, there were still
some ‘augmented’ 4 SUB units running at this stage, soon to be replaced by
the final deliveries of BR type 4 EPB unit nos.5345 – 5370. The allocation
on the SWD rose again to about 33 units by 1972.

Liveries
All units were delivered with the unit number preceded by an ‘S’
and a larger gap the usual before the first ‘5’ digit of the unit number, these
were removed at first repaint and the 4-digit unit number centralised on the
cab front. Unit nos.5001 /5002 /5006 & 5007 were delivered in a lighter
yellowish green livery, all others being in early BR(S) green.
Unit no.5048 was subject to trials with yellow warning panels
and full width panel below cab windows applied c.
January 1962.
Units painted in the intermediate livery of blue with blue ends
in 1966 were as follows (all eventually gained all blue with full yellow ends,
and later all were painted blue /grey):

Unit no.5218 was the last SR unit to run in normal service in
green livery and was repainted blue in January 1972.
Unit no.5223 was the last 4 EPB to run in plain blue livery
in February 1984.
Of the facelifted units numbered nos.5401 to 5497 the Network SouthEast livery was the later version (darker blue with
curved upsweeps).

Unit no.5415 with an off side door wide open arriving at Honor
Oak Park |
AWS
Units began to be fitted with AWS equipment starting with those
then based at Wimbledon Park for SWD workings during 1977, those involved (nos.5101
- 5133 except withdrawn nos.5103 and 5130) all being fitted with Baldwin AWS
valves with the exception of the last two done (nos.5112
& 5128) which had the simplified type. Other units working on the CD and
SED were then fitted with the simplified type, those at Selhurst initially
having the equipment isolated until (officially) 24th August
1981. However, a number of units were fitted prior to
dispatch for facelifting; the work being done during this overhaul.
Units nos.5172 and 5203 were the last SR
units running to be fitted with AWS equipment in February 1986.
AWS equipment fitted to these units as follows:

Unit not fitted until
‘facelift’ overhaul. |
||||||
Thursday, 15th January 1987 and a pair of 4 EPB units endure at Gravesend!
© Andy Veitch
Facelifting
From 1980, in a programme similar to
that carried out on the 4 SUB units, many units had their compartment
trailers replaced by saloon vehicles (some from withdrawn 4 SUB units -
others were rebuilt as saloon cars) and were fitted with improved draught
proofing, fluorescent lighting and public address. These ‘facelifted’ units
were renumbered in a new series from 5401 upwards. However, not all units were
done, the highest number reached being 5497.
As a result of various complex unit reformations in connection
with the facelifting programme, a number of
non-facelift units had their compartment trailers replaced by a saloon vehicle,
reducing their seating capacity to three-hundred & sixty-eight. However, a
number of non-facelift units remained in their original form, but following a
murder in a compartment on 23rd March 1988, from April a series
of reforms placed the remaining sixty-four compartment trailers into thirty-two
units, classified as 4 COM. Numbered 5501 - 5532, these seated four-hundred
& four and were restricted to peak-hour duties only;
all being withdrawn by May 1992. The saloon trailers from these reforms
were put into other non-facelifted units to create more all-open units, which
seated 368 (as did the facelift units).
Non-facelift units remaining in the 50xx series were
renumbered upwards in order from 5265 from November 1988 to clear the 50xx
number range for new Networker Class 465 units. When BR introduced computerised
class numbers for all its fleet during 1972, the SR type 4 EPB units
became Class 411 but the class numbers were revised in 1975 and the units were
reclassified as Class 415; later Class 415/1 for non-facelifted,
Class 415/4 for facelifted and Class 415/5 for the 4 COM
variant, these class numbers corresponding with the first two digits of the
unit number.

Sevenoaks (via Swanley) morning service. © John Atkinson |
As in the last batches of 4 SUB units, many cars were
constructed on salvaged underframes from pre-war 3-car motor units, and the
compartment trailers in nos.5001 - 5053 and nos.5216 - 5260
were augmentation trailers removed from such units and modified for EP braking.
Two of these were 9-compartment ‘pseudo-composites’ reducing the seating
capacity of unit nos.5005 and 5220 to three-hundred & seventy-four, and (following
accident damage reforms) two further vehicles of this type later ran in unit
nos.5008 and 5115. Further non-standard units were created following reforms
after collision and accident damage and some ran with the later
BR Standard type eighty-four seat motorcoaches.

Maintenance
With such a large fleet, units were used throughout the suburban
area of the SR and received routine maintenance at Wimbledon Park, Selhurst and
Slade Green depots, with lesser attention at Orpington, Gillingham
and Stewarts Lane. Slade Green was responsible for major electrical
overhauls whilst intermediate repaints were done at Selhurst Paint shop and
major body overhauls at Eastleigh works (though some were dealt with at
Lancing before this works closed). Unscheduled repairs were shared between
Selhurst and Slade Green repair shops whilst in later years, the units
were facelifted at Eastleigh and Horwich works although a few units were
occasionally sent away to Swindon, York or Derby works for overhaul.
When depot allocations were introduced for SR stock in October
1972, units working on the SWD were allocated to Wimbledon Park but the
complex nature of the diagrams precluded separation of the Central and
South Eastern fleets until May 1978, in the meantime units being jointly
allocated to Selhurst and Slade Green. By this time, the allocation to the
SWD had fallen to about 33 units with a corresponding increase in diagrams on
the CD. Selhurst then had units in number range nos.5001 - 5041 and Slade Green
had nos.5042 - 5053 and nos.5134 - 5260.
Units working from Wimbledon Park were the first to get
operational AWS equipment during 1977, and the remaining units were
subsequently done, though the programme took some years, not being completed
until February 1986 (some were equipped during facelifting).
As units were refurbished, the new 54xx units replaced
the Selhurst allocation, in order downwards from no.5041 in January 1981, the non-facelifted
units being displaced to Slade Green. Wimbledon Park lost its last 4 EPB
allocation from 1st October 1984 when unit nos.5116 ‑ 5119
moved to Selhurst, and this depot lost its allocation from January 1985 when no.5113
moved to Slade Green.
The fleet remained basically intact until 1984 when a few units,
usually with particularly bad bodywork corrosion started to be withdrawn. Unit
nos.5024 /5028 /5038 /5046 /5122 /5142 /5164 /5168 /5174 /5186 & 5192 were
stored from the timetable change of 12th May 1986, though some
were kept in reserve for Derby Day 2nd June 1986. Mass withdrawals
did not commence until 1991 (including some facelift units), and the fleet was
replaced during 1993 /1994 by new ‘Networker’ Class 465 /466 units.

4 EPB no.5042 at Bournemouth Central between late-1964 and
early-1967. This was not the only ‘SR’ 4 EPB to reach Bournemouth for withdrawn units (such as 4 COM no.5531
c.Sep-91) were sent there for stripping (albeit loco hauled). © BloodandCustard |
Unit Details
The following table lists units by
number and formation.
Units reformed to all-open are marked
‘+’ against the unit number concerned.
Unit numbers of former augmented
4 SUB units in which the TS cars ran and their previous numbers are shown
in brackets below the coach number, whilst the number of the coach from which
the underframe was recovered are also shown [in italics and a smaller
typeface] in brackets with the prefix U and preceded by the last unit
number the vehicle was formed into prior to rebodying. Those with the old coach
number underlined were frames originally constructed at Ashford, those not so
marked were built at Lancing.
Withdrawal dates and details of scrap
dealers are also shown, a number in brackets following the scrap code indicates
the number of vehicles involved if units were not sold as complete 4-car sets.
Facelift dates are date into works, ‘New’ dates below the unit number are the
‘Paint Dates’ at Eastleigh, units usually entered traffic shortly afterwards.
Units involved in a trailer swap have
the number of the other unit involved in the ‘Tlr. Exch.’ column and the
TSO replacing the TS is marked with a ‘+’, the TS replacing the TSO is marked
with a ‘*’ after the coach number.
A few units were reformed ‘all-open’
immediately prior to facelifting in which case there is no + sign by the unit
number although one appears in the TS column, as the unit never ran with its
old number as an ‘all-open’ unit.
Some exchanges involved more than one
unit and ‘see notes’ then appears in this column. TS vehicles remained as
diagram number 2013 and TSO cars as diagram number 2018 after swapping, the few
odd ones with other diagram numbers are highlighted in the footnotes.
SR codes also remained unchanged.
Only three non-facelifted units (no.5001
/5176 & 5196) survived in traffic after 1st April 1994 to
be allocated to the ownership of the Eversholt train
leasing company under the BR privatisation arrangements, these being marked
with an ‘E’ after the unit number.

released from Derby in new formation Aug‑69. The accident report stated: "The 16.57 electric multiple-unit
passenger train from Coulsdon North to London Bridge, having passed at Danger
the Norwood Junction Up Local Inner Home signal, collided with the rear of
the 16.45 electric multiple-unit passenger train from London Bridge to London
Bridge via Streatham and Selhurst which was standing in the Up Local platform
at Norwood Junction station. There was no derailment, but severe damage was
caused to the rear Motorcoach of the 16.45 train and lesser damage to the
leading Motorcoach of the 16.57 train. Altogether 56 passengers received
minor injuries, of whom 16 were taken to hospital but not detained. The
drivers of both trains were slightly injured and the guard of the 16.57
sustained a broken rib and suffered from shock." TS 15084 was vehicle in which on 23‑Mar‑88 a
passenger was murdered causing the formation of the 4 COM units from Apr‑88
(though 15084 was formed into unit no.5510) the last so formed 23‑Jul‑88
after being held by police. Having boarded at Petts Wood, twenty-six-year-old
Deborah Linsley was murdered in a smoking
compartment on the 14:16hrs Orpington to Victoria (via Herne Hill) train
between Brixton and Victoria. At the inquest (16-Nov-88) the coroner returned
a verdict of unlawful killing. The coroner criticised an au-pair who, hearing
the attack from an adjacent compartment did not pull the communication cord. With
the advent of DNA technology, the case was re-opened but to-date, the killer remains
at large. This murder brought about a reduction in the use of compartment
stock including the reformation of EPB stock and the use of a red cant-rail
band over non-corridor compartments. TS 15084 exchanged with TSO 15350 (ex.5172) 23‑Jul‑88

for store pending repairs at Eastleigh. After repairs both
to unit no.5225 from Mar‑62. 4 EPB electric unit 5164 had formed
the 2.53pm Charing Cross to Tattenham Corner train. The accident report stated: "The diesel train was running
through London Bridge and Borough Market Junction on the Up Local line under
clear signals, and it was to precede the Hayes train to Charing Cross. The
latter train was on the Up Through line and, after it had stopped at London
Bridge, the platform starter was cleared for it to draw up to the next signal
ahead. That signal protected the converging junction between the Up Through
and Up Local lines and it was at danger, but the Hayes train ran past it and
came into sidelong collision with the diesel train at a point 72 yards beyond
the signal. The collision forced the rear end of the leading coach of the
Hayes train towards the Down line from Charing Cross, and it was struck
almost immediately by the Tattenham train. The speed of all the trains was slow.
The leading coach of the diesel train and the leading two cars of the Hayes
train were derailed and they were damaged fairly severely.
There were about 115 passengers in the diesel train, 25 passengers in the
Hayes train and 98 passengers in the Tattenham
train. Seven passengers, most of whom were in the Hayes train, received
slight injuries or suffered from shock. One passenger was sent to hospital
and was discharged after treatment, while the remainder were given first aid
treatment and then continued on their journeys." Replaced from 27‑Apr‑61 by 14407 & 15120 (both

Leading an empty eight-car formation (rear unit number?)
MBS 14334 of unit no.5167 was damaged in collision with a solo 15-ton
diesel-powered engineer's crane no.965288 at Streatham Hill on 30‑Dec‑69.
The accident report stated: “the collision which occurred at about
01.20am on Tuesday the 30th December 1969
between the 00.55am Wimbledon to Streatham Hill empty coach train which was
travelling along the Down Main and a rail travelling crane standing on the
adjacent Up Main about a quarter of a mile to the west of Streatham Hill
station. The train, consisting of eight
vehicles, had just left Balham Junction, where it had been halted, and was
travelling at about 20 m.p.h when the right-hand
corner of the leading coach struck the tail of the crane which was projecting
towards the Down Main, away from the direction of the oncoming train. The
coach was badly destroyed along its off-side, about a third of the driver’s
cab being destroyed, and I regret to say that L.E. Williams, the guard, who
was occupying the guard’s compartment immediately behind the cab, received
fatal injuries. The driver was unhurt. The rear of the crane sustained a good
deal of damage but the crane driver escaped injury, and there were no other
casualties. Neither the train nor the crane was derailed and there was no
damage to the permanent way” The report concluded “The man who was acting as
Operating Inspector at the site gave the Civil Engineer’s staff permission to
work with their crane; he failed, however, first to make positively sure that
trains would be prevented from approaching along the Down line.” Unit deleted 28‑Feb‑70, MBS 14333 to no.5229 from

electric passenger train from Staines Central to Waterloo, which was made up
of the 12.7 pm. train from Windsor and the 12.2 pm. train from Weybridge,
started from the platform against the signal at danger, and after travelling
for 215 yards, collided almost head-on at about 20 m.p.h. with a light engine
which was crossing from the Up loop to the Down main line under the authority
of a shunting signal. The light engine, which had reached a speed of about 10
m.p.h., was overturned on to its near side, and the tender, which remained
upright, was derailed all wheels. Both running lines were blocked but there
was only minor damage to the permanent way and signalling. The leading bogie of the electric
train was derailed all wheels, and the offside of the front coach was
demolished, the damage extending through the motorman's cab and the guard's
compartment to the front of the open type passenger
compartment. The headstock and both the sole bars were badly twisted, and the
motor bogie was crippled. A number of window lights
were broken and there was other superficial damage throughout the train. The
front of the light engine was severely damaged; the buffer beam was buckled.
both main frames were distorted and the cab was almost torn from the frame. Fortunately, the casualties were
slight with only minor injuries or shock to 12 of the 70 passengers. The
motorman of the electric train escaped with some cuts and bruises, but the
driver of the light engine had his leg broken and the fireman also was
injured." Unit in further collision with 6L unit no.1018 at Cannon

passenger train from Addiscombe to Cannon Street, consisting of 6 cars filled
with passengers, passed the Up Through home and starting signals of Cannon
Street signal box at danger, and ran at 10 to 15 m.p.h. into the 9.14 a.m.
Down empty diesel electric train of 12 cars from Cannon Street to Grove Park,
which was travelling at about the same speed under clear signals from No. 6
platform across the route of the Up train to the Down Local line. The first
contact was between the right hand leading edge of
the electric train and the side of the eighth coach of the outgoing diesel
train ; the electric train scored the side of this coach and then struck the
right hand leading end of the ninth coach, crushed the body severely, and
overturned it and the following coach. The 6rst two cars of the electric
train were derailed to the left and stopped leaning to that side, hut there
was little damage to their interiors and no passengers were seriously
injured. Eleven out of an estimated load of 650 passengers had minor injuries
and were taken to hospital, as was the motorman, who suffered from shock. The
other passengers were conducted on foot to Cannon Street station without
avoidable delay." Damaged 14449 and 15020 remained stored at Micheldever,

Hybrid unit nos.5261 - 5264
To utilise vehicles made spare as a result of
accident damage or unit reformations, four further 4 EPB units were formed
at various times.
Two units (nos.5261 &
5262) were formed in 1965 utilising spare BR-type
2 EPB 84-seat MBS cars spare as a result of the
formation of the six 3R ‘Tadpole’ DEMU units. To run with these, three
4 SUB trailers were converted to EPB standards, and one 4 EPB TSO (from
a damaged unit) made up the remaining vehicle. These two units were
non-standard in length and seating capacity and differed from each other as one
had two TS, the other TS & TSO trailers.
Unit no.5261 was released 6th August 1965 and unit
no.5262 on 23rd November 1965. Both were in green livery when formed,
with those motorcoaches not already sporting yellow warning panels having those
added at this time:
No.5261
received motorcoaches from BR-type 2 EPB units no.5701 (believed no yellow
warning panel) and no.5711, which had already received its yellow warning panel
by 14th January 1964.
No.5262
received motorcoaches from BR-type 2 EPB units no.5704 (no yellow warning
panel) and no.5709, which had already received its yellow warning panel by 22nd
July 1964.
Unit no.5262 later gained full yellow ends whilst still in green
livery; both later being painted blue with full yellow ends before gaining blue
/grey livery.
Two further units (nos.5263
& 5264) were formed in 1976 /77 utilising SR-type
MBS cars from disbanded 2 SAP units, the first again having two 4 SUB
trailers converted to EPB standards, the other using 4 EPB trailers spare
as the result of accident damage, though both ran temporarily formed with a BR
type semi-saloon trailer for a while.
Unit no.5263 was the first suburban unit to be painted blue /grey
in January 1979.

of standard 257' 5" length. Unit then to Eastleigh for facelift 29‑Apr‑86
and renumbered 5490. |

5263 |
Unit formed Jul‑76 using two SR-pattern former
2 SAP MBS cars from disbanded units nos.5601 & 5636, seating eighty-four.
Both trailers were former 4 SUB TS cars converted to TSO from former
10337 (15450) ex.4605 and 10480 (15449) ex.4386. This unit was the prototype for the 4 EPB facelift
programme; both trailers had new seating, false ceilings with fluorescent
lights, improved heating & draught proofing and
public address equipment. MBS 14556 had a simpler form of fluorescent
lighting fittings without the false ceiling and 14521 remained unmodified.
However, when formed 15450 was not yet ready so unit ran initially from Jul‑76
until May‑77 with BR type one-hundred & twelve-seat trailer
70456 (ex. bomb damaged no.5343) and was 259' 0½" long and
seated three-hundred & eighty-two. Once 15450 included, unit became
standard in length at 257' 5" and the seating capacity reduced to three-hundred
& seventy-two. Unit no.5263 was renumbered no.5401 in Nov‑80 and
returned to Eastleigh 8‑Feb‑82 for further facelifting to bring
it into line with the production facelift units. This involved fitting false
ceilings and neater fluorescent light fittings in the MBS cars and the
internal partition was removed at this time making them eighty-two-seat
vehicles and bringing the seating capacity down to three-hundred &
sixty-eight as in all other facelifted units. |
|
5264 |
Unit formed Sep‑77 to replace withdrawn no.5047 by using
two more MBS cars from disbanded 2 SAP units nos.5602 & 5603, the
TSO 15147 from withdrawn no.5047 and TSO 15258 from spare stock but
originally from no.5130 which was disbanded following fire damage. When unit formed, 15258 still had fire damage repairs
incomplete so (like no.5263) unit temporarily formed with BR type one-hundred
& twelve-seat TS 70456 (ex. bomb damaged no.5343) until Jul‑80.
During this period no.5264 was 259' 0½" long and seated three-hundred
& eighty-two, but after inclusion of 15258 the length became
257' 5" and the seating capacity three-hundred & seventy-two. Unit withdrawn 4‑Nov‑92, to Eastleigh 4‑Dec‑92
then Bournemouth 15‑Dec‑92 and (after stripping) moved from
Bournemouth to Gwent Demolition (Margam) for scrapping 12‑Jan‑93.
All cars cut‑up w/e 23‑Jan‑93. |

Facelifted Units 5401 - 5497
The prototype ‘Facelift’ SR type 4 EPB unit appeared during
June 1976, although one car was not ready until May 1977 and the unit ran
temporarily formed with an unmodified BR type semi compartment trailer
until this time. This was unit no.5263, and three of the four cars were the
subject of trial modifications to improve the seating, lighting
and draught proofing of the vehicles.
A rolling programme of ‘facelift’ conversions started early in
1980, the first unit dealt with being no.5225, which entered service in its new
form in May. All compartment accommodation was stripped out during the
facelift, all seating being in open saloons to reduce the levels of vandalism
in the former compartments. This reduced the seating capacity of the units from
three-hundred & eighty-six to three-hundred & sixty-eight 368 as the
former one-hundred & twenty-seat TS became a one-hundred & two-seat
TSO.
All units had fluorescent lighting installed, also a PA system
and improved draught proofing was fitted around the doors and the heating system
was uprated. AWS was fitted where the unit concerned did not have it already. A
false ceiling was fitted in units up to no.5449. However, to save costs units nos.5450
upwards did not have this feature, the lighting being carried in roof length
trunking similar to that in the BR type facelifted
units.
The first five units to be completed (nos.5263 /5225 /5143 /5218
& 5152) retained their existing numbers, but
repositioned on unit ends (low down over the cab windows). However, from
November 1980 they were renumbered (in order) into a new series from 5401
upwards, and all other units followed on from this.
All facelifted units were turned out in the blue /grey livery,
except for no.5414 which emerged all-blue in error and had to be returned to
Eastleigh to have the grey applied. Later, once all the 4 EPB fleet was in
blue /grey, the Network SouthEast livery was applied
only to facelifted examples, untreated units remaining in blue /grey.
To enable compartment vehicles to be eliminated as quickly as
possible, many units for facelift were reformed before going to works,
exchanging their TSO cars with the TS from a non-facelifted unit and proceeding
straight to works where both TS cars were converted to TSO. A few units ran
briefly in service with two TS cars prior to facelift.
Also included in the facelift programme were the thirty-two
remaining MBS cars from the SR type 2 HAP (later 2 SAP) units.
These differed from true 4 EPB MBS cars by having a partition dividing the
saloon into two of four bays each and giving a seating capacity of eighty-four
(diagram 2130).
During facelifting this partition was removed, reducing the
seating to eighty-two; making them standard with the
4 EPB vehicles. These ex. 2 SAP motorcoaches were all fitted with
express gear ratio motor bogies and most were converted to suburban gear ratio
during facelift overhaul. However, a few were not done resulting in some units
initially retaining express gear ratio; subsequent bogie changes later
eliminated this.
To provide trailers to run with these ex. 2 SAP MBS cars,
thirty-three former 4 SUB trailers (all TSO cars except the two prototypes
included in unit no.5263 which were TS cars converted to TSO) were converted to
EP braking and were renumbered from 15449 upwards to 15481, (the additional
trailer converted was to replace withdrawn 4 EPB trailer 15072). This
programme was split between Eastleigh and Horwich works, thirty units being
dealt with at Horwich (including all the ex. 2 SAP conversions except for
prototype unit no.5263 done at Eastleigh) and all remaining units at Eastleigh.
Identities of former 4 SUB TSO cars
converted to 4 EPB trailers for this programme were as follows (10337 and
10480 were formerly TS vehicles, all remaining were TSO):

Unit no.5263 (now 5401) was initially non-standard and was
returned to Eastleigh in February 1982 for further work to bring it into line
with the production units. It had run as no.5401 from November 1980 and was the
only one of this series to run without AWS equipment until its first overhaul
in February 1982.
Unit no.5476 upwards were outshopped with a new style two-tone
green with orange horizontal striped seating moquette, earlier units having the
traditional ‘Trojan’ grey with coloured dots style.
Facelifted units were concentrated at Selhurst depot for Central
Division services and rarely strayed onto SWD or SED service. However, units
from no.5468 upwards were allocated from new to Slade Green depot for SED
workings and (with the gradual introduction of new stock to SW and Central
divisions) the units were progressively transferred to the SED until all were
allocated there from January 1993; many replacing non-facelifted 4 EPB
units for disposal.
Thirteen units moved to Slade Green following the introduction
of Class 456 units to service at Selhurst depot from 30th September
1991 (units were generally reallocated downwards in number order) so that the
lowest numbered ones remained at Selhurst. A few units were later fitted with
Cab Secure Radios (CSR) and these were then concentrated at Selhurst involving
a small number of unit reallocations.
Large scale withdrawal of these units began in late 1992 as
deliveries of new Networker Class 465 /466 trains commenced with the last
removed from traffic early in 1995. Units remaining in service after 1st April
1994 were allocated to the ownership of the Eversholt
train leasing company under the BR privatisation arrangements, units concerned
being marked by an ‘E’ after the unit number.
Unit formations are as follows, with the number of the coach's former
unit being shown in brackets below. The identities and unit number of former
4 SUB cars are also thus shown, and units with an ‘H’ were facelifted at
Horwich works. Dates below unit numbers are release dates from works after
facelifting, these often being several weeks prior to the entry into service of
the unit, particularly in the case of units facelifted at Horwich works.
Electrical codes for these vehicles were complex due to the
differing origin of many cars and are shown above the vehicle number. Former TS
vehicles converted to TSO are shown with a ‘+’ sign after the coach number.
With the exception of accident damaged unit nos.5439 &
5484, this whole large batch of units were all scrapped by Gwent Demolition at
Margam, usually after some limited stripping at either Eastleigh or Bournemouth.
All these units were fitted with simplified AWS equipment with
the exception of 5420 which retained its older Baldwin type during
facelift.

Unit involved in Cannon Street buffer stop collision 8-Jan-91
and MBS 14046 and TSO 15308 partly telescoped. This was the middle unit
in the ten-coach train formed as follows: Unit 5618
(leading) 4 EPB
BR-design Unit 5484
(middle) 4 EPB
SR-design Unit 6227
(trailing) 2 EPB
BR-design Extracts from former colleague HM Inspector of Railways Alan
Cooksey’s investigation report stated: “At
proximately 08.44hrs, the 07.58 passenger train from Sevenoaks to Cannon
Street Station collided heavily with the hydraulic buffer stops of platform 3
at the terminal station. The most significant damage to the train occurred
where the fifth coach [MBS
14046] partially overrode the sixth coach [TS 15308]. Regrettably
two passengers lost their lives as a result of the
collision. Of the other passengers on the train 542 suffered injury, 277 were
treated in hospital and 33 of those were detained for one or more nights”. “From the
evidence available to me I can find no defect in either the braking or
traction system, either permanent or intermittent, which would have prevented
brakes from operating effectively. Therefore, I must conclude that Mr Graham [the
driver] failed to make the proper brake application and that by his omission
he was responsible for the accident. I am unable to reach any firm conclusion
as to the reasons for his error or as to whether Mr Graham’s [the driver] use
of cannabis was the cause of his omission”. In respect of the EPB rolling stock Alan Cooksey’s investigation report concluded: “Despite
its age the rolling stock had been properly maintained and it did not
contribute to the cause of the accident. Nevertheless, its now superseded
design did result in more severe damage to the rolling stock and an increase
both in the severity and number of injuries. In particular, the overriding of
the fifth and sixth cars occurred because of the inadequacy of the single
buffer coupling and the lack of structural strength in the coach
bodies." Unit withdrawn 13-May-91. MBS 14061 and TSO 15031 both formed

Arriving after the morning peak, ‘10 COM’ formation
formed of units no.5524 (leading), 5519 (middle) & 6245 (rear) shunts
into Tonbridge’s Jubilee Sidings on Thursday, 12th September 1991
during the last fortnight of ‘COM’ operation. The white and red headcode
denotes a shunting move. Note the red cantrail stripe above
the driver’s sliding vent light which denoted the unit had compartment
accommodation (see red cantrail stripes on both of the
compartment trailers). These red cantrail stripes followed the 23rd March 1988 murder in a compartment of unit
no.5115. © John Atkinson |
4 COM Unit Nos.5501 - 5532
Thirty-two units classified as 4 COM (Class 415/5) units
were formed during April and May 1988. Their formation was a result of public
anxiety following the murder of a passenger in a compartment of coach 15084 of
unit 5115 on an Orpington to Victoria service 23rd March 1988.
A decision to concentrate the remaining sixty-four all-compartment cars into
thirty-two units with two compartment trailers. These units were then
diagrammed to work only Mondays ‑ Fridays on certain peak hour trains,
where their additional seating capacity also came in useful.
Each unit now seated four-hundred & four with
the exception of the three (nos.5507 /5510 & 5531) which included
one of the 9-Compt. vehicles (these units seating three-hundred &
ninety-two).
All units were formed at Slade Green during April /May except
for unit no.5510 due to the Police holding 15084 as evidence until July, though
unit no.5172 was renumbered no.5510 in April and ran initially still retaining
its TSO car.
These units were distinguished by the painting of red cantrail
stripes along the full length of both trailers and also
a short length above the cab side lights at each end of the motorcoaches.
Units all had AWS fitted when formed, most having the simplified
version. However, unit nos.5501 /5509 /5512 /5520 /5523 /5527 /5528 & 5530
had Baldwin equipment inherited from their donor 4 EPB unit motorcoaches.
As new stock became available, a cascade of units led to the
progressive displacement of these units for withdrawal, and the last units ran
in late September 1991. However a few motorcoaches in good condition saw
further service reformed into other non-facelift 4 EPB units following
withdrawal.
Dates units were reformed at Slade Green shown below the unit number
in the following table.

No.1 Jubilee Sidings Thursday, 12th
September 1991. With unit no.5524 leading, the 4 COM red cantrail stripes on
unit no.5519 are clearly visible. However, whilst unit no.6245 had red
cantrail stripes over its five compartments, it is not repeated above the
driver’s sidelight. This inconsistency was present across the 2 COM fleet. © John Atkinson |
