The British Rail Class 419 Motor Luggage Vans were built from 1951-61 by BR at Eastleigh WorksTen of these units were built for the boat trains from London Victoria to Dover and Folkestone. Units were originally numbered in the range 68001-68010, but were classified class 419 under the TOPS system and were then renumbered 419001-419010, the numbers actually carried on the units in service reduced to 9001-9010, omitting the first two digits. The units were also fitted with batteries to allow them to operate over the short-distance of non-electrified line at the quayside. The batteries allowed the units to be used at low-speed for 20-30 minutes, and could be recharged when the unit was taking power from 750V DC third-rail. They were withdrawn from traffic in 1991/92, with the closure of Dover Western Docks railway station and the end of the boat train services.
