Description

Class 357/0

The first batch of 44 Class 357/0 units were built to replace the Class 310 slam-door units, and allow the return of 18 hired Class 317 units to their operator WAGN.

  • 67651-67696 - DMSO
  • 74151-74196 - MSO
  • 74051-74096 - PTSO
  • 67751-67796 - DMSO

Class 357/2

The second-batch of 28 Class 357/2 units were built primarily to replace the remaining Class 312 units. The last slam-door units were withdrawn on 31st March 2003, resulting in c2c being the first operator to replace its entire fleet with new trains. Class 312, nos. ...


Units are numbered in the range 357201-228. The formation of each 4-car unit is identical to that of the Class 357/0 units. Individual vehicles are numered as follows.

General features

From the outside the two sub-classes are identical, however the Class 357/0 units are leased from Porterbrook and have green LTS interior colour scheme, whilst the Class 357/2 units are leased from Angel Trains and are internally branded to the c2c colour scheme. There are minor diffences in the finishings of the two sub-classes; most notably the interior door buttons. All units were built in a white livery with green doors, and later had vinyls applied for the new c2c purple livery.
