The London Post Office Railway 1980 Stock was built by Hunslet in Leeds between 1980 and 1982.[1] The units were originally ordered from Greenbat,[2] but the company went into administration after building just three sets. The design incorporated several of the features tested in the prototype 1962 Stock.
Thirty-four of these units were built, primarily to replace the ageing fleet of 1930/1936 Stock, although some of the earlier units were retained. The new sets were originally numbered in the range 501–534, but this was later amended to 1-34 when a new numbering scheme was introduced in 1984.
Following the closure of the system in 2003, all units have been withdrawn.
