These engines handled some of the heaviest suburban and intermediate traffic on the London South Western and Southern Railways. They were often to be seen on eight- and ten-coach trains on the outer suburban services from Waterloo to Guildford and Windsor, etc. Engines of this type handled much of the mainline empty stock traffic between Waterloo and Clapham carriage yards. The first 55 of these engines were shorter by 1ft 2 ¾in. At the front end; this dimension applying only to the distance of the buffer beam from the front by the aforementioned dimension, making the overall length 36ft 3in. When new, all engines were fitted with “Drummond’s” feed pumps instead of injectors. A number of these engines were fitted with the necessary equipment for push-pull working.
