Description
This class of unit were built in four different batches for use on different lines.
Numbers 1101-1118 The first batch of units, numbered 1101-1118 were built in 1957 as two-car units and were classified as 2H. They were built for services on the non-electrified routes from Portsmouth-Salisbury-Andover and Alton-Winchester-Southampton. However, due to increasing passenger numbers, all eighteen units were strengthened to three cars, with the addition of a centre trailer, and therefore were reclassified as 3H units. However, the designation above the left buffer continued to read 2H. Upon the introduction of TOPS they were reclassified as Class 205. Some of these were to be subsequently converted back to 2 car sets but they erroneously retained their Class 205 designation. Year 1957 (MCMLVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1957 Gregorian calendar). ...

Numbers 1119-1122 The second batch of 2H units, numbered 1119-1122, were built as 2-car units in 1958. These units were built for services on the Marsh Link Line from Hastings to Ashford, and associated branch lines. These units remained as two-car sets until 1979, and were reclassified as Class 204 upon the introduction of TOPS. Year 1958 (MCMLVIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Numbers 1123-1126 The third batch of units were built as three-car sets in 1959, and were numbered 1123-1126. These units were built to supplement the first batch on services in Hampshire. Therefore collectively, the first and third batches are often called Hampshire sets. Year 1959 (MCMLIX) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Numbers 1127-1133 The final batch of units, numbered 1127-1133, were built in 1962 as three cars sets. These units have some detail differences from the earlier batches, such as a different internal layout, and smaller route indicators (compare the two photos). They were built for services from Reading to Salisbury, and other services in Berkshire. Therefore this final batch of units are often called Berkshire sets.
