Talk:British Rail Class 370/Archive 1

Merge proposal
There are multiple articles that refer to the APT, it seems to me that ideally they should be merged. AndyLandy (talk) 19:41, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Against The Class 390 was only part of the Advanced Passenger Train project which began with HSFV1. Chevin (talk) 09:25, 26 November 2008 (UTC) Against "Advanced Passenger Train" was the name of the overall project - the Class 370 units were the prototype rolling stock constructed to test the technology on a full up basis Hammersfan 16/12/08, 09.42GMT

Against : The APT is nationally notable outside the train industry. The BR Class 370 is barely so, if at all. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 21:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Speed record
So did the 225 beat the APT-P or not? The reference claims that the APT-P set the record on a test run, as did the 225 apparently, so why does this article claim the record stands until Eurostar? Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:34, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Motor coach no. 49007
Recent edits have added motor no. 49007 - other than [https://web.archive.org/web/20080821122335/http://www.therailwaycentre.com/Recognition%20Tech%20Data%20EMU/EMU_370.html ref. 2], I can't find evidence for this. The lists of BR Lot numbers included in show the motors as six only, numbered 49001-6 - these books do show a seventh DTS and TBF. Similarly, shows seven DTS and TBF but only six M, numbered 49001-49006. Although there is clear evidence for the seventh DTS+TBF, and that these were used in service in order to provide a short formation - the press runs of the APT used one six-car half-set plus the two-car half-set 370007, with only one motor formed between them: one of the PDF docs ("The shape of travel to come") shows this formation - it's not likely that an extra M would have been needed for similar use. -- Red rose64 (talk) 10:35, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Dubious source
My virus scanner has picked up on ref ("Advanced Passenger Train – Prototype" at The Crewe Heritage Centre), it's listed under "Harmful websites", apparently "these websites you've visited put your security at risk - creweheritagecentre.org" -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:09, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
