Sr Class 2WimThe Southern Railway (SR) gave the designation 2Wim to the small fleet of electric multiple units dedicated for use on the Wimbledon to Croydon line. None of these units survived long enough in British Rail ownership to be allocated a TOPS class. Construction The 2Wim (2-car Wimbledon stock, numbers 1809-1812) units were rebuilt in 1930 from former Trailer First cars originally used in ex-LBSCR AC electric SL stock. They were intended for use on the line between Wimbledon and Croydon. Originally these units had some First Class accommodation in the Driving Motor car, but this was later declassified to Third Class only. The units were numbered 1909-1912 before 1936, when those numbers were reused for new 2Bil units. Formations Initial formations of these units were as follows: | MBC | DTT | | 909-1912 / 1809-1812 | 9818-9821 | 9951-9954 | Withdrawal All four units were withdrawn in 1954 and subsequently scrapped.
