The British Rail Class 403 is the TOPS class given to the five-car all-Pullman electric multiple units that the Southern Railway designated 5-BEL and that worked the Brighton Belle trains between London Victoria and Brighton. Three five-car units were built for the electrified Brighton line, with all 15 cars built by Metropolitan Cammell, and between 1933 and 1935 they were designated 5-PUL. The Southern Belle was renamed the Brighton Belle in June 1934. The last Brighton Belle train ran on 30 April 1972, after which the three units were withdrawn and all 15 cars were sold into private ownership.
