[edit] Broken Link

Fixed the broken link leading to "Metro-Cammel Class 156" page.130.209.74.218 (talk) 11:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] changes

Changed sections to operations by regions.

Article still needs references - and still requires info on past operations - hence the various 'tags' on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FengRail (talkcontribs) 04:15, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Looking at the page history some 4000 bytes were removed from the article, what happened?--Commander Keane (talk) 04:41, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Well I did some rewriting that will have compressed it a bit - also removed stuff like " On the former First North Western units the seating is in good condition, although the carpets are in a very poor state. " because.. well.
Also the current operators table was removed for the reasons given in the summary - ie that it's not encyclopedic to just cover current events.
Don;t know how that adds up to 4000? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FengRail (talkcontribs) 04:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
I can't say I actually removed any real notable information - some of the previous writing may have been a bit verbose and repetive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FengRail (talkcontribs) 04:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for improving the article :-) --Commander Keane (talk) 05:06, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Citations

I can't find any hint of a source for the Class 152, or for the 90mph speed record. If someone knows where these can be found (old issues of railway magazines perrhaps?) could they please add them soon, or the text will be deleted. The wheel lathe stuff in the Scotland section is a bit dodgy too, but should be possible to confirm, while the note on Central Trains units moving to First North Western is clearly wrong, so will be removed.

[edit] Wales

Barmouth railway station 1.jpg

I found this photo on Commons, which appears to show a 156 at Barmouth in 2001. Can anyone tell me what company ran this service, what company the train was owned by, and whether 156s often visited Wales? -mattbuck (Talk) 00:41, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

This is (almost) a duplicate posting of that at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#156s in Wales. Per WP:MULTI, let's discuss it on one place: the discussion at WT:UKRAIL is already under way. --Redrose64 (talk) 09:39, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Possible change to the title of this article

This article is currently named in accordance the Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Railways naming conventions for British rolling stock allocated a TOPS number. A proposal to change this convention and/or its scope is being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#Naming convention, where your comments would be welcome.
