Not on all routes. If the OP fancies a spot of nostalgia then Greater Anglia still deploy them on the Norwich-London Liverpool Street mainline, albeit not for much longer.

The interiors have been refurbished relatively recently with new seating and power sockets installed, but to illustrate how old the carriages actually are they still have 'BR' imprinted on the slide down window handles.

British Rail hasn't run a train since 1997, and these certainly pre-date that by a few years.
