No, they're the ones with modified seating (450543-450570, formerly

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_450

There are 28 modified units, not 27 as shown in the Wikipedia item.  And the
British Rail bit is wrong too.

No it isn't - it's the convention that Wikipedia uses to refer to
train numbers allocated on the mainland Great Britain TOPS system.

Infinite detail on why that convention is used, here:
