-* This is the only train to have moved operators in the history of SCR. They were initially [[Stepford Connect]] trains, but in December 2017, they were then replaced by [[Class 377|Class 377's]] on Connect. They were later brought back into service on [[WaterLine]]. Then, they moved to [[AirLink]] and replaced the [[Class 379]], due to their top speed being more useful to that operator. During this final switch, these trains were upgraded to [[Next Generation]], along with the [[Class 377]] and [[Class 379]]. This is also the only train which has been on all operators, except [[Stepford Express|Express]], in SCR history.
