The British Rail Class 202 (or 6L) diesel-electric multiple units were built from 1957-58 at Eastleigh and Ashford Works. These units were built to work the London Charing Cross to Hastings services. Several tunnels along the route had restricted clearance meaning that these units were built with a narrow body profile.The last six-car units were withdrawn in 1986 when the Hastings line was electrified.
