  British Rail Class 376 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a derivative of the Class 375 Electrostar designed specifically for use on the high-volume metro routes around London, England operated by Southeastern.
The Class 376's doors are wider to allow more passengers to board at once, and are metro-style sliding doors which are faster and more reliable than the Class 375's plug doors, although they do not provide as much insulation for heating and cooling purposes.
Class 376 units are five carriages long, and unlike the Class 375, have full-width cabs instead of gangways at the ends of the train; it is therefore not possible to walk between two coupled Class 376 units.

Class 313 electric multiple units were built by BREL at York Works from 1976-77, these being the first second-generation EMUs to be constructed for British Rail.
The Class 313 fleet was developed following extensive trials with the prototype Class 445 "PEP" unit built in the early 1970s.

 by Vince Morabito, Defendant Class Actions And The Right To Opt Out: Lessons For Canada From The United States, 14 Duke ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The class suit was an invention of equity to enable it to proceed to a decree in suits where the number of those interested in the subject of the litigation is so great that their joinder as parties in conformity to the usual rules of procedure is impracticable.
If the class judgment is in favor of the defendant, the former class members are not bound by this result as the defendant is not allowed to invoke the doctrine against them.
A second perceived problem with defendant class actions relates to the fact that it is usually the plaintiff who moves for certification of a defendant class and who nominates the representatives of the defendant class.
