I am the person who created this article as I believe it is a worthy addition to the article about Briitish Rail Class 357 EMU's. The practice of naming locomotives after all sorts people (not just train drivers) has been around for centuries. Sadly no one seems to want to record who these people are or were. I understand that right here and now, the names which relate to the articles I have created maybe the most boring thing known to mankind, but in the future Wikipedia maybe the only place that has this information. For this reason, I would prefer the articles created to give a piece of history about these locomotives and their names to remain.

I appreciate that these articles maybe as much fun as watching paint dry, but I could probably find a few thousand articles by other people on other subjects that I would also consider equally boring.
