Operator = British Rail|The British Rail Class 414 (or 2Hap) electric multiple units were built between 1956 and 1963.

209 of these two car units were built to two similar sub-classes. The first batch of thirty-six units were built on the underframes of older SR Class 2Nol units, and numbered in the range 5601-5636. These were followed by 173 new-build units, numbered in the range 6001-6173.

The class 414 started to be withdrawn in 1982 because of a large number of them containing blue asbestos.

In 1983, ten Driving Motor Cars were converted for use on the Gatwick Express service in conjunction with Class 73 locomotives and Class 488 unpowered EMU trailers. These units were reclassified as Class 489.
