The Class 350/1 units were originally part of an order for thirty-two 5-car Class 450 units for South West Trains. However, they were never built as such. Of the 160 carriages ordered, 40 were diverted as an additional ten 4-car Class 450 units, and the remaining 120 were modified as thirty 4-car Class 350/1 units. A second batch of 37 units to replace the 321 units were delivered during late 2008 and 2009. These new units are designated Class 350/2 and differ from the 350/1 units in two key aspects: they have 3+2 seating in standard class (because they work short-hop commuter services, the 350/1s are 2+2 throughout and work longer distance services); and lack the dual voltage capability that the existing units have.

| - The Class 350/1 units were originally part of an order for thirty-two 5-car Class 450 units for South West Trains. However, they were never built as such. Of the 160 carriages ordered, 40 were diverted as an additional ten 4-car Class 450 units, and the remaining 120 were modified as thirty 4-car Class 350/1 units. A second batch of 37 units to replace the 321 units were delivered during late 2008 and 2009. These new units are designated Class 350/2 and differ from the 350/1 units in two key aspects: they have 3+2 seating in standard class (because they work short-hop commuter services, the 350/1s are 2+2 throughout and work longer distance services); and lack the dual voltage capability that the existing units have. The Class 350 units differ from the Class 450 because the latter units operate from 750 V dc from a third rail, whilst the Class 350/1 units operate from both 25 kV ac from an overhead power supply, and also 750 V dc from a third-rail. The dual voltage capability was removed shortly after delivery but was reinstated on some units which were leased to Southern in 2008/2009. Every set of doors has its own set of guard operated door controls behind a lockable panel. The cabs have three radio systems - Cab Secure Radio (CSR), National Radio Network (NRN) and the newest system, GSM-R. This allows a great deal of operational flexibility. CCTV and Flip Dot destination screens are fitted throughout the train.
