The running life of the 3-COP on our suburban rail services is nearly at an end. There are now only 14 left in service, 4 are already awaiting the cutters torch.
The 3-CEP units were formed in 1998/9 in order to allow 11-car trains to work along the Hastings line. With the rapidly increasing Class 375 introduction their duties are diminishing, although they are frequently found working with other units, especially during peak periods.
After the 3-CEPs were formed the spare TS vehicles were either used to replace the buffets in the converted Class 421/8 units or scrapped.
None of these units are to be T.P.W.S fitted and started to be withdrawn from service starting from 31/12/02.
