357028[edit]

Can someone explain why this unit has been sent to the Czech Republic? Are they considering buying Electrostars, is work being done on it there, or something else? David Arthur 18:34, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

class 170[edit]

is it me, or do these look like British Rail Class 170's? ACBest 19:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It’s not a coincidence: the 168, 170, 357, 375, 376, 377, and the upcoming 378 all form one family of trains from Bombardier. The 357, in particular, uses the same body shell as the 170 and later 168s. David Arthur 23:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Announcement Systems[edit]

Is there any reason in comparing them on these units to the PIS onboard the SPT 334s? They ae not in the same TOC, not controlled by the same parent company and are not in the same family of units as the electrostar. It seems odd to say: "Unlike the class 334s..." when the 334s have very little in common with 357s.

Should this be removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.40.75.55 (talk) 23:29, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Reliable sources[edit]
