[[British Rail]] allocated '''Class 499''' to a fleet of six luggage vans used in [[electric multiple unit]] formations on [[boat train]] services between [[London]] and [[Dover]]. They were allocated [[SR Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification|Southern Region class]] TLV (meaning '''T'''railer '''L'''uggage '''V'''an).<br />
<br />
They were converted from former Brake Guard vehicles in 1968 to supplement the [[British Rail Class 419|Class 419]] Motor Luggage Van fleet. However, following the decline of boat train traffic, they were all stored in 1975. After a period in use as match wagons for transferring new Class [[British Rail Class 432|432]] and [[British Rail Class 438|491]] units from York Works, they were all taken into departmental stock initially as stores vans, but later as breakdown train tool vans.<br />

==Registered London Underground Stock==<br />
After 1994, [[Railtrack]] allocated '''Class 499''' to identify [[London Underground]] [[electric multiple unit]]s used on its lines, in particular the sets used on the [[Bakerloo Line]] services to [[Harrow & Wealdstone station|Harrow and Wealdstone]]. However, this did not involve any renumbering of the actual stock involved, and was merely for electronic records.<br />
