  British Rail Class 317 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
They were the first of several classes of British Rail EMU to be based on the all-steel Mark 3 bodyshell, departing from the "PEP"-aluminium design which had spawned the earlier Class 313 to Class 315.
The Class 317 units were displaced to outer-suburban services on the WCML out of London Euston station, to Milton Keynes and Northampton.
The Class 317 units enabled LTS Rail to replace the elderly Class 302 slam-door EMUs, the last examples of which were withdrawn in 1998.

The Class 317 units transferred to Thameslink are maintained at a new depot built at Bedford.
The first major changes to the fleet occurred in 1996/97, when 18 units were transferred to the LTS Rail franchise to help eliminate elderly Class 302, 310 and 312 slam-door stock.

 sr class 4lav - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
The Southern Railway (SR) gave the designation 4Lav to the electric multiple units built to work the semi-fast services on the route between London and Brighton.
The 4Lav (4-car Lavatory stock, numbers 2921-2953) units were built in 1932 for use on the newly electrified London Victoria to Brighton line, operating the slower services over the route.
Despite the prominence given to the lavatory provision in the SR designation, there was actually only one lavatory in the whole four-car unit, and due to the lack of corridors in the unit, only passengers in that coach had access to it!

 British Rail Class 319
The British Rail Class 319 electric multiple units were built by BREL York in two batches from 1987-1988 and 1990.
The trains were introduced for new north-south cross-London services from Bedford to Brighton, and since privatisation the aforementioned services have been operated by Thameslink and First Capital Connect, the former TOC having been merged with 'wagn' to form the latter TOC at 0200 BST on 1st April 2006 as a result of refranchising.
When Class 377/3 "Electrostar" units replaced them on Brighton Express services, the seven Class 319/2 units were cascaded on to peak only London-Guildford via West Croydon and London-Horsham via Three Bridges services, although since then these units were displaced by the 319/0 sub-class.

Many of the 4Lav underframe numbers were recorded by enthusiasts in the 1950s, but the 1932 suburban units were withdrawn before frame numbers were "discovered" so what they were is a matter of elimination and approximation.
The SR assigned coaching stock diagram numbers to all its stock for operational reasons (diagram numbers were not the same as drawing numbers).
The 2Hals 2677-2692, were identical with the Medway batch, except that the third class upholstery reverted to the jazzy blue and beige suburban pattern of 1938.

Once a new build of Class 455 EMUs were complete, the 508s were slowly sent to their originally intended home on the Merseyrail network, to work alongside the already well-established fleet of Class 507 EMUs working there since 1978.

Then came some two car units with one coach with a toilet - the prewar SR units were known as 2-HAL so these became 2-HAP with only the P indicating EP brakes.
Nowadays it is all done either by class numbers (450, 444, 455 etc.) or by nicknames (Junipers for 458s etc.).
The only way the VAB would have been able to work with a TC was if a Class 33 or an ED providing pre-heat from its diesel engine were attached.

SECR Hundred-seater No.1098 did not receive a new roof canvas when it was overhauled in the early 90's and is also receiving a rapid re-paint, which should be complete by the end of the year.
At the same time the SR Brake Van No.404 is receiving some roof-top attention to make it watertight, to the undoubted relief of the guards on the vintage branch-line train.
Moving on to the carriages, SR Maunsell Open Third No.1309 is now in the paint shop, and SR Bulleid Open Third No.1464 has replaced it in the "scaffold" area of the new works for re-canvassing of the roof.

Thank you for Greg Scott to provide the following information:
The TOPS number included with these codes serve as the 1972 class number these units carried, as these are the classes that most people know these units as.
Some of the SR codes at the bottom of this list never carried a TOPS number, because they were withdrawn before 1968.
