The [['''British Rail]] '''Class 489''' (or [[British Rail unit designations|GLV]]) is a type of [[electric multiple unit]], specially converted for use on [[Gatwick Express]] trains, from [[London Victoria station|London Victoria]] to [[Gatwick Airport railway station|Gatwick Airport]].
 
The units were converted from [[British Rail Class 414|Class 414]] driving motors cars, by [[Eastleigh Works]] in 1983-84, for use on the new Gatwick Express service. They were used to allow [[push-pull train|push-pull]] operations, on the London-end of the rakes of [[British Rail Class 488|Class 488]] stock, with a [[British Rail Class 73|Class 73]] locomotive at the other end and both used for propulsion. The units were used as baggage cars.
