First Great Eastern / One Railway

First Great Eastern ordered 21 4-car units to replace their elderly Class 312 slam-door units. They entered service in 2003, and by mid-2004 had completely replaced the old trains. They are primarily used on London Liverpool Street to Ipswich and Clacton services.

Since they were built, First Group has lost the franchise to the National Express Group, who operate the Great Eastern routes as part of their One Railway franchise.

Heathrow Express have ordered five 5-car units to operate London Paddington-Heathrow Airport stopping trains. They are due to enter service in 2005.
