Talk:British Rail Class 97

Penrhyndeudraeth rail crash
A few days ago, a Network Rail loco, 9730 something, hit an elderly woman on a level crossing at Penrhyndeudraeth (Pen-rin-dee-drai-th) in North Wales.

I was in the area the day previous, and saw 97303 going past Talsarnau, a little south of the area, heading north to Penrhyndeudraeth. Can anyone make out/does anyone know which locomotive was involved in the crash? I can't tell if it was 303 or 302.

97 747
The article mentions 97 747 when referring to accidents but makes no other reference to that number range. Should this section be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.231.124.212 (talk) 18:16, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think there's a digit missing. Sandite DMUs usually had six-figure numbers, in the series for departmental coaches (blocks 975000-975999 and 977000-977999), so it could be 975747, 977747, 977047, 977147, 977247 etc. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 07:24, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Further investigation suggests the vehicle involved was not 97747 but 977747 (see http://www.railcar.co.uk/topic/accidents/?era=90s). This is a DMU vehicle and not a 'class 97' locomotive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.231.124.212 (talk) 21:05, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
