I'm thinking of a train class..

[Temple Meads]

Route rather than line Scott, I'll amend the post to make that obvious.

 

[Ivo]

503, only operated on the Wirral Line and was the first to have air-powered doors? (Taking this from one of mine recently?)

SORRY: Have had to delete this part of the post due to unforeseen circumstances - its content is no longer true.

Wish I could come down for the 142 event; enjoy it

 

[Class172]

Class 460?

 

[Temple Meads]

Oh I will
Pity you couldn't come down Scott, but that's life I guess!

Anyway it's not 503 or 460.

Class 76?

 

[gg1]

class 91?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I am wondering at class 55.....?

 

[Temple Meads]

None of these.

 

[gg1]

Class 395?

 

[Temple Meads]

Not a 465, this class is at least as old as privatisation.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I can make class 168 fit all the clues bar one... there's only 19 of them!

 

[Temple Meads]

Not a Class 168, not a DMU.

 

[Ivo]

Still haven't got the faintest idea.

Class 91

 

[Temple Meads]

Still haven't got the faintest idea.

Class 91

Not a 91, gg1 has already suggested that.

The notable first is something to do with it's propulsion system..

 

[gg1]

Class 302?

 

[Schnellzug]

357, the first from Bomabardier?

 

[Temple Meads]

No, not an EMU either.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

*grasping at straws*

Manchester's first batch of trams?

 

[Temple Meads]

Afraid not.
Big clue then, it's an electric loco of some kind.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

The Brush Euroshuttles then?



Open floor.

 

[Temple Meads]

Think older than that.

It might not perhaps be obvious they only ran on the one route either.

 

[Jedipickles]

The Krupp Eurotunnel Class 0001?

Open Floor if correct

 

[Temple Meads]

Nope, think more traditional UK traction, and older.
This class does have a TOPS designation.

 

[Jedipickles]

Class 508?

Open floor if correct
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
didn't read, it's a electric loco.. ummm

Class 73?

Open floor, again

 

[Temple Meads]

Neither.

Although Class 73 is the closest so far.

 

[150222]

Class 71?

 

[Jedipickles]

Class 74?

 

[Temple Meads]

Neither.

 

[Schnellzug]

Cl. 76?

oh, that's been said. 77, then, or EM2.

 

[150222]

Class 87?
