You're not even going to tell us where they're made? How can they be "British Rail" so many years after privatisation? Please explain that too. --kingboyk 21:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Grand Central
Are Grand Central planning to use Meridians, Pioneers or have ther own form of 222? Simply south 13:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
No order has been placed so are presumed to be using High Speed Trains (Class 43). Chaz247 21:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
It actually shows on their website a set of Class 222. See [1] Simply south 21:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm aware of that. Grand Central have also previous had on there website Class 158s, Class 64 + Mk3s and HSTs. No order has been placed with Bombardier and production has ceased. In a recent Rail Magazine it was stated that they are refurbishing a High Speed Train to 1000v ETS to use in 2007. Chaz247 18:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 9 car meridians to have coach removed and placed on the 4 car meridians?
According forum members on this this website - http://www.railwayscene.co.uk/showthread.php?thread=1847. All the 9 car meridians are to have a coach removed so they are then 8 car meridians, the removed coach will then be added to some of the 4 car meridians to turn them into 5 car meridians. Does anybody know if this is true, i have not seen anything about this on any other websites, so did not want to add anything about it to the main article
If you click here then you will see that 222004 has 8 carriages and 222014 has 5. Although this is just a trial at the moment, it does look like it will be a success and that 6 other carriages will be transferred between trains. Edvid 05:18, 31st October 2006 (UTC)
