Prototype information:
The Class 313 and 314 are part of the PEP (Prototype Electro Pneumatic) family of units and were based on designs developed in the early 1970s for a new type of commuter train. The main fleet built between 1976 and 1981 comprised Classes 313 (Great Northern), 314 (Scottish region), 315 (Great Eastern), 507 (Merseyside) and 508 (Southern, then Merseyside) units. The class 313 introduced innovative features such as Tightlock couplers and sliding doors, and were the first British units to incorporate both pantograph and third rail pick ups. The class 313s were the oldest units in service on the mainland at withdrawal in 2023.
