 * Delete. I'm seeing no contradiction with the British Rail Classes 371, 381 and 471 article, as those trains were proposed in the 1991, whereas these trains are claimed have been proposed for the Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive far more recently; class numbers of never built trains can be reused. However, the article has no sources, and I don't understand why Bombardier is mentioned as the manufacturer without any reference to any train specification and bidding from competitors process. Finding I see the process to find a replacement has started; if reliable sources of the story this aborted attempt can be found, this can be included in this article when it is written.

 * Delete as it almost appears to be a hoax. I can verify that Merseyrail were looking at replacing the existing trains, but I can't see any proof that this was going to be a Class 371. Nor can I find any proof that Bombardier were going to build it. Literally the only evidence I've seen of its existence is this image. Normally I'd argue to keep most locomotive articles; but there's literally nothing here bar original research, and there's nothing else out there either.
