The class was intended to be a modern replacement for the ageing 'first generation' types in use on the Southern Region of British Railways (classes 201 to 207) but the prototypes built did not manage to secure production for the class and were withdrawn in the 1980s. DesignThe class were externally very similar to the first batch of Class 317 EMUs, but half of the forward carriage was taken up by the engine room. Power was provided by an above-floor diesel engine driving a generator to power traction motors on the axles. A single engine was fitted at one end of the train, and the trains operated in a push-pull configuration. As part of the testing, each unit was fitted with a different diesel engine - the 3-car unit received a 1,125 bhp Paxman RP type engine, while the 4-car set had a 1,140 bhp MTU TC type. A total of seven individual vehicles were built, which were formed into two trains, 210001 (four-car set) and 210002 (three-car set). Set 210001 was an outer-suburban version, with first- and second-class seating, toilets and a luggage van.[1] Set 210002 was an inner-suburban version provided with high-density second-class seating only.[1] The vehicles were initially given numbers in the DMU series (5xxxx) but quickly renumbered into the DEMU series (6xxxx). OperationSets 210001 and 210002 operated in various parts of the country on trial (as did the prototype railbuses, both the single cars and the Class 140 set). Crew training on the Reading-Taunton line commenced in April 1982 with a press demonstration held in May, before entering service on 5 July 1982.[1][2][3] They operated in the London area of the Western Region: 210001 was based at Reading TMD and operated between {{stnlnk|Paddington}}, {{stnlnk|Reading}}, Newbury and {{stnlnk|Oxford}}, while 210002 was based at Southall Depot and operated between Paddington and {{stnlnk|Slough}}.[4] In October and November 1983, 210001 was trialled by ScotRail operating from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Dundee, Fort William and Inverness.[5] However no more were ordered and their remit was filled by the Class 150 family of Sprinters, which, like the Class 210 (and the Class 317, Class 318 and Class 455 EMUs), were based on the Mark 3 coach bodyshell. The cars led different lives after being withdrawn. The two driving trailers (and the intermediate trailer of the three-car set together with one trailer from the four-car set) were used by Network SouthEast as part of the Class 457 Networker development train. Both the driving cars subsequently passed to the Electric Railway Museum, Warwickshire, one being resold in 2004 to the Eversholt Rail Group. There was a plan for a driving motor to be saved also but, after being stored at Eastleigh Works for many years (still in blue and grey livery), both driving motors were scrapped in May 2003.[6] One of the TSOs is currently in class 455 set 455912 and the other two have been scrapped. A DTSO from set 210002 was inserted into set 455913 in 2013 after being rebuilt at Wolverton railway works to replace a carriage destroyed in an accident.[7] The vehicle (67301) was converted to a 455 MSO.[8] A Class 210 DEMU appears in the music video of the 1984 hit Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat.
