London Victoria on 18th March 2003, seen painted in Railtrack was a group of companies which owned the tracks, signals, tunnels, bridges, level crossings and some stations of the British railway system from its privatisation in 1996 until 2002.

The British Railways (BR), later rebranded as British Rail, ran the British railway system, from the nationalisation of the Big Four British railway companies in 1948 until its privatisation in stages between 1994 and 1997. This period saw massive changes in the nature of the railway network; steam traction was eliminated... British Rail Class 930 was reserved for former Southern Region A multiple unit is a passenger train whose carriages have their own motors, either diesel (DMUs) or electric (EMUs), and do not need to be hauled by a locomotive. History and description Multiple units (MUs) were made possible by the development of multiple-unit train control by the American inventor... electrical multiple units and A diesel multiple unit can be: a multiple unit powered by a diesel engine; one or more of these form a passenger train; a combination of diesel powered locomotives operating under the control of one engine-driver, coupled together consecutively, usually at the head end of the train, which further... diesel-electric multiple units converted for departmental use. Originally the series was reserved for de-icing and, later, sandite units. In recent years, however, other types have also been given numbers in this series. Electric and diesel units are dealt with separately

Electric Units

The Southern Region intially numbered its departmental EMUs in a series between S1 and S101. In 1968, a new series was adopted; 001-099. Existing units were renumbered to fit in that series, which also included other non-passenger stock, i.e. those EMUs converted for parcels traffic.

TOPS class numbers were applied, these units mostly retained their existing numbers as the last three digits of their new TOPS class number. It should be noted that several of the numbers 001-099 have been reused for different units.
