Talk:Alstom Aventra

Contradiction section

Two or one air conditioning units - that is the question.Imgaril (talk) 11:57, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Maybe someone can make heads or tails of this information from http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1mz4o/RailEngineerMarch201/resources/29.htm. The section on page 29 titled Energy saving climate control is apparently where the information originated. Susanperu (talk) 23:00, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

I found a lot of text copied from that source, which explains why it read like and advert.. Have removed all that, and the template:advert tag. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aventra&diff=509176991&oldid=442883355

(that sort of solves the contradiction problem too..)

There is information enough in the sources to expand the article., but it needs to be written not copied..Oranjblud (talk) 01:47, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

The article might have been more comprehensive if you have not cleared that stuff out. As it is, the content is negligible and a proprer article needs writing.

I do not know how to access and add to the reflist. Please could someone more knowledgeable add a link to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZqsdOEdUuA which is a Bombardier promotional video dated October 2013 papermaker (talk) 10:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Class 711 number

Here is the relevant quote from the provided source, available on PressReader:

"The document also shows that the five-car sets were to be classified as Class 705s, while the ten-car trains were to be ‘711s’. Instead, these will be ‘701s’, and the ten Aventras ordered for c2c will be Class 711s."

Rename to Alstom Aventa

With Alstom's purchase of Bombardier Transportation, should this page be renamed to Alstom Aventra? --Enotayokel (talk) 11:42, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

I think it's far too early to say what will happen with the branding of Bombardier business unit or their products. Is there any indication that Litchurch Lane and it's products will change name? As that would be the trigger for considering changing the name of the article. Though given that Aventras were designed and a large number introduced under the Bombardier brand there's reason to keep the existing title.Qazwsx777 (talk) 12:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

We don't know what Alstom has planned for Bombardier's products, and it's far too early to change the title of this article. Bombardier will build the trains that they are contracted to do so, and then we'll have to see what happens in future. Anything else would be WP:CRYSTAL.

@Enotayokel: - until we have references that new trains (701, 720, 730) are being branded Alstom instead of Bombardier - the existing manufacturer should be left. In future, we may want to edit this article similar to something like Bombardier Incentro - which talks about the history of the model being designed by Adtranz before its purchase by Bombardier. As above, that would have to be referenced. But that's a edit for another, future time. Turini2 (talk) 12:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Alstom are marketing the Aventra as an Alstom product on their website; I think now is the time to change the article name. Look here.
