View source for British Rail Class 499 (TLV)

[[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'''ans).

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 430|430]] and [[British Rail Class 491|491]] units from York Works, they were all taken into departmental stock as tool vans.
