121 has already been, and is not electric (the "bzzt" clue).
This unit is still in active service, unlike the much-loved 421.

Not a 108. We're looking for an electric.
Actually forget that I don't think it is...
Also ole man are you actually reading the clues

Not a 442. You need to think a bit more laterally with this one (as with the 80 before).

Not a 309. This unit is still in service, but is pretty old now.

We are among the oldest classes still in regular use. One of the classes that works with us is older still, but subject to withdrawal, and has a claim to fame as the [something]est train in the UK. We have a very distinctive livery and are a rare sight in most of the country - in fact, most of the country has never seen me... EMUs only please.

Next clue: Not OHLE.
Just grasping at straws at this point but 458? Honestly not a clue...

OK, fair enough; another BIG clue:
This unit is *not* found on any line that was formerly operated by Network SouthEast.

The train in question is found somewhere on the mainland. I don't really know much about the IoM operations.

Hasn't that been yet? I know 507 has...
Not 508 either!

C Stock?

Would be correct! 
The "other train", the "A" Stock, is the widest stock in the country - and currently being withdrawn in favour of the "S" Stock.

Finally 
1) We had only one operator during our life.
2) We had a unique quality due to the services we worked.
3) We were replaced by rolling stock that was actually older than we were at withdrawal.

One of the classes of Hastings Line DEMUs?
I'll take a stab at class 201.

Not the Class 460s?
Surely it's a 460 (though I've been beaten to it).
Two of you have fallen into my trap
It's not a 460 or a 201. But 201 was warmer than any other guess so far

Right I'm going out to Uni for a few hours so by all means keep guessing (one of you was close) and I will give some more clues if necessary when I get back.
