A total of 64 Class 313 EMUs were delivered between 1976 and 1977 and were based at Hornsey TMD for the East Coast Main Line and Willesden TMD for the North London and Watford DC Lines. With a step-change in capacity and performance and sporting dual-voltage capability, the Class 313s revolutionised rail travel in the Capital, and sister units would also go onto serve East London, Merseyside and Strathclyde commuter networks.
The 313s continued their North London service until 2010, by which point London Overground had replaced them with all new Class 378 Captialstars. Instead of facing scrap though, an opportunity was taken to refurbish 19 members of the fleet and send them to Southern, offering a much-needed capacity boost. The pantograph was removed, the interior refreshed and the cab modernised, with the change also came a change in subclass from 313/1 to 313/2.
The units arrived on the Southern Coastway routes in May 2010, working Lewes shuttles, services to Seaford, and in the peak could reach as far as Eastbourne. With the withdrawal of their Great Northern counterparts, and the retirement of the Class 483 on the Isle of Wight, the Southern Class 313s became the oldest EMUs in service in the country for 2 years until their own retirement in 2023.
Now updated to support the East Coastway Remaster, enjoy the Class 313 in a whole new light! Take a break from driving and serve the south on guard duties, listen out for onboard announcements, and feel a new spring in your step with dynamic suspension.
Please note: Train Sim World: East Coastway Remastered is required, as a separate purchase, in order to utilise the content featured in this add-on.
