Collectively, they are called ‘Juniper’s.

 

Working 2U39 the 1358 Waterloo to Windsor & Eton Riverside 

 

To a ‘Midlander’ like me, the sight of trains with 8 or 12 coaches in their make up, when I am used to two or sometimes 4 coaches, seems wildly generous.

Peter points out an interesting detail,

 

“The 455/7 was built as 3-car but extended to 4-car by adding a redundant trailer from a 508. 

 

The different carriage profile can be seen on the third vehicle”.
