[edit] Naming convention

There is a discussion about the naming convention to use for articles about British locomotive and multiple unit classes at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (British railway locomotive and multiple unit classes). Your comments are more than welcome. Thryduulf 22:28, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What needs to be done to clean up this article? --Fuelboy 13:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Future operations

Regarding use on TransPennine Express Manchester to Scotland services - the units will not be able to run at 125mph on this route, as non-tilt rolling stock on the WCML is limited to 110mph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.251.46 (talk) 09:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] So, are any 180s actually in use right now?

The article doesn't tell me. All we have are statements that trains "were to be used" or are proposed to be used. As I write this, are any 180s in regular passenger-carrying service? 81.158.2.229 (talk) 01:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

At least 3 with FGW. These will go once a EMT HST arrives. Btline (talk) 14:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

And will there be any in service anywhere once that HST arrives? Basically, what I'm asking for is something a bit more concrete than proposals. If there isn't anything more concrete, then that should be said. I ought to be able to look at this article at any time and get an idea of where this train is being used right now. 81.158.2.229 (talk) 16:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
The article clearly states (or at least did once) that all Adelantes will be withdrawn from FGW once the EMT HST arrives later this year. To be honest, nothing much has been confirmed so it is all speculation anyway! Btline (talk) 17:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
