The British Rail Class 302 (initially AM2) was a class of electric multiple units (EMUs) that was introduced between 1958 and 1960 for outer suburban passenger services on the London, Tilbury and Southend line (LTS). This class of multiple units was constructed with Mark 1 bodyshells, with slam-doors.
