Billinton
The article states: "In 1903 Billinton changed the colour of the ordinary LB&SCR coaches". Which Billinton? There is no other mention of Billinton in the article. But I presume Robert John Billinton (5 April 1844 – 7 November 1904) was the Locomotive, Carriage, Wagon and Marine Superintendent of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway from 1890 until his death in 1904. Another Billinton, Lawson Butzkopfski (or Boskovsky) Billinton (4 February 1882 – 19 November 1954) was the Locomotive Engineer of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway from 1912. I'm going with R. J. B. but please change if you know differently. Aarghdvaark (talk) 08:18, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * This would indeed be R. J. Billinton - he was the father of L.B. Billinton. In 1903, L.B. was still working his way up the ranks - he was an apprentice until February 1903, and although appointed Inspector of Materials in September 1903, would not have had sufficient seniority to make wide-ranging decisions on such matters as coach livery. -- Red rose64 (talk) 09:24, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
