Designed by R.A Riddles (The Mechanical & Engineering Member of the Railway Executive) and aided by E.

Body width was eventually settled at 8ft 8in, at cantrail height. The stock was introduced in 1951 in sets on 'Festival of Britain' trains being built through to 1964, when superseded by the Mark II design.Catalogue listing
