I'm thinking of a train class..

[hmp455]

By all the pre-privatisation sub-sectors do you mean Interity, Regional Railways and NSE, or do you mean the various divisions of NSE?

The 'core' subsectors (i.e. not NSE's divisions)

Class 319?

Nope, but you're quite close. We are based on the MK3 design

 

[150222]

Class 317?

 

[hmp455]

Class 317?

Still no.

Another clue: This class replaced it on one of the lines we have operated on.

 

[150222]

Class 321?

 

[hmp455]

Class 321?

Still no, but VERY close now!

 

[150222]

Class 322?

 

[hmp455]

Class 322?

Correct!

We have ran for NSE (both under actual NSE and WAGN), Intercity (North Western's Manchester Airport-Euston service), Scotrail, and Regional Railways (Northern Rail)

Replaced with Class 317s in 1997-2000.

Virtually the same as Class 321.

 

[150222]

Of course,
*We have a very unusual feature.
*We are no longer in service.
*We were unpopular with passengers.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

If that is class 141, this is an open floor!

 

[Temple Meads]

4DD's?

 

[150222]

4DD's?

Blimey that was quick, You got it.

 

[Temple Meads]

Blimey that was quick, You got it.

Nice

1) We are very similar to a FAR more numerous design.
2) We perform at least as well as said more numerous design.
3) We could be considered a revolution.

Pretty easy I think.

 

[Nym]

Class 59 Locomotive

1) Very similar to the Class 66 that has over 300 in the UK...
2) Better on heavy loads and just as reliable
3) Revolution in freight locomotives from BR designs onto the 59/66/67 designs.

 

[150222]

Class 91?

 

[Nym]

What is far more numerous and similar to a Class 91?

 

[Temple Meads]

It is indeed the Class 59, over to you Mr Nym!

 

[150222]

What is far more numerous and similar to a Class 91?

Class 90!

 

[Nym]

I'd hardly call a run of 50 vice a run of 31 much more numerous

OK, this isn't a 323...

I was built by a company that no longer builds railway vehicles as a whole
I was built at Derby
The company that built me is now building parts for a new locomotive design for the UK
Unlike many other rail products built for the UK market by this company, this one shows the loco of the company that built it.

If you can guess the company you can have a biscuit, if you guess the class, it's your go

 

[sprite]

Not sure of the class, but I want to guess ABB/AdTranz as the company.

 

[Nym]

Clue (For the Biscuit): AdTranz no longer trades as such...

 

[hmp455]

Bombardier for the company and Class 375 for the train?

 

[Nym]

No, and No... Sprite has mentioned the company...

 

[Schnellzug]

365 and/or 465 Networker, from ABB?

 

[Nym]

ABB is correct, Networker is not...

365s where built at York, and the 465 at Washwood Heath by GEC or York by BREL and ABB

 

[hmp455]

Class 325

 

[Nym]

Class 325

Is correct...

 

[hmp455]

Okay, here goes:

We're an EMU

We are notoriously unreliable

We have some not-so obvious 'heritage' features

We are exclusive to one service, although we will soon not be used on this route.

Shouldn't be too dificult

 

[Temple Meads]

Class 456?

 

[150222]

Class 483?

 

[hmp455]

Neither is correct.

Hint-We currently have First Class accomadation, but this is set to be removed soon
