Additional data:

The protoype cars were formed from motor cars 3608 and 3652 (built 1941-42).

The original numbers of the Driver-training cars (changed in 1977):

3400-->7660, 3401-->7661, 3402-->7662, 3403-->7663
These originally had 2 drivers' cabs (except type 'UV5').

As of December 1993, 20 cars have been rebuilt as MUV types.

Lately, many UV cars have been withdrawn.

In 1962, UVs 3235--3258 were experimentally rebuilt as an articulated unit (3799, later renumbered 3729). In 1966 they were rebuilt as 2 separate cars again.
