The design specification was based on the experience gained in the previous fifteen years through the operation of Bulleid's CC1 & CC2, Class 70 locomotives. By adopting the continental practice of reducing the weight without sacrificing tractive effort, a smaller engine could be built.

The British Rail Class 71 Electric Locomotive is a Bo-Bo configuration engine which was built at the British Rail Doncaster works between 1958 and 1960, for mixed-traffic service on Southern Region’s Kent Coast Main Line .

The British Rail Class 71 was an electric locomotive used on the Southern Region of British Railways. Unlike Southern Region electro-diesel locomotives (such as classes 73 and 74) they could not operate away from the electrified (750 V DC) system.

By 1934, the Southern Railway recognised that the short 48" ex-LSWR stock was in need of some major attention as it was nearing the end of its working life.
