SR Class 2Nol

The Southern Railway (SR) gave the designation 2Nol to the electric multiple units built during the 1930s from old London and South Western Railway carriage bodies on new underframes. None of these units survived long enough in British Rail ownership to be allocated a TOPS class.

Construction

The 2Nol (2-car No Lavatory stock, numbers 1813-1890) units were built in 1935-1936 by taking former LSWR carriage bodies, lengthening them, and placing them on new underframes. They were intended for use on slow services on the South Coast and in South London.

Formations

Initial formations of these units were as follows (carriages were not necessarily formed in numerical order):

Withdrawal

The majority of these units were withdrawn in the mid-1950s, when the old bodies were scrapped and the underframes were re-used for new 2EPB and 2Hap units.
