Guess The UK Train Class

[Class172]

Sorry it's so small!

 

[OxtedL]

That's another truly ridiculous one...!

377??

 

[Class172]

377??

Nope, but you got the right manufacturer

 

[OxtedL]

I'll prepare a list for everyone to quote (cough):

My next guess...>>> 172
171
170
168
375
376

Sorry, but I can't help but snigger to myself :roll: - lets say you seemed to have gone 'express' past it!

 

[OxtedL]

NO!!!! Not the fabled 357?!

No, it isn't. That makes things interesting...

Oh no, wait. I misinterpreted the clue. 379??

 

[Class172]

No, it isn't. That makes things interesting...

*head in hands*

The clue was in the response

 

[90019]

NO!!!! Not the fabled 357?!

I don't think any of them have that light cluster.


A 379?

 

[Class172]

I don't think any of them have that light cluster.


A 379?

Finally we have an answer! I can tell OxtedL is not going to be pleased in the slightest.

It's a Stansted 'Express' Class 379

 

[OxtedL]

I twigged it at about 19:09 and 42 seconds, as demonstrated above. The bombardier website was involved...

Hmmmm...When did you edit that post - the bit about the 379 never showed up earlier. As far as I'm concerned, whoever wants the floor can have it so you and 90019 can sort out who it'll be

 

[Crossover]

Since it has been a few days, I will take the floor

This may be a bit easy but will give it a go. From a train I was on today...cover kept flapping open so seized an opportunity :P

Not around for long tonight and out in the morning so it is likely to be afternoon before I get back to it

I would put 50p on that being a BR 2nd Gen DMU (i.e. Sprinter/Pacer) and I'm going to open the bidding with 158.

I concur.

 

[Nym]

Yep, it's a 158...

Cheapskate :P

It is indeed a 158 - ATW - was pretty much wedged! What you can't see as I have cropped the picture, is the catering guy with the trolley in the bike area so people could get off at Rhyl!

 

[ainsworth74]

Cheapskate

What can I say, I've spent the vast majority of my life in Yorkshire

Give me five minutes or so to dig up a picture of some sort or another...

 

[ainsworth74]

Okay have a gander at this:

 

[Nym]

It looks like a class 86 locomotive, possibly at Birmingham NS
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Correction, it's 81012 at Birmingham New Street...

Or maybe a different 81, it's not exactly the same as...

 

[ainsworth74]

Nope it's not an 81.

 

[Nym]

Class 86?

 

[ainsworth74]

Still no...

 

[Nym]

Is it any kind of AC Locomotive?

 

[Hydro]

An 85?

 

[ainsworth74]

Is it any kind of AC Locomotive?

Yes and I'm sorry to break it to you after doing nearly all the work but...

An 85?

Hydro storms in with the correct answer, it is indeed an 85 at Birmingham NS:

 

[Nym]

Hey, I managed to get that it was Birmingham New Street, that should get bonus points.

 

[ainsworth74]

Bonus points are definitely in order, I was stunned when you got Birmingham NS from that picture!

 

[Hydro]

Awww yeah! Open floor, I'd love to post a tricky one but I doubt I'll be here enough in the next few days to keep track of it.

 

[Crossover]

What can I say, I've spent the vast majority of my life in Yorkshire

Likewise so am I with you there :P

 

[Crossover]

Here is another, no doubt easy, one for you all
