British Rail Class 423 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2004 words) |
 | The British Rail Class 423 (or 4Vep) electrical multiple units were built by BR at York Works from 1967-74, although the MBSOs and TSOs of the first 20, 7701-7720, were constructed at Derby Works. |
 | The units were reclassified as Class 423/9 (or 4Vop) and renumbered in the range 3901-3919. |
 | Although first introduced in 2002, this did not initially affect the Class 423 as the older 'Phase 1' Class 421 units were withdrawn first, due to their age and lower seating capacity. |
