Passenger Locomotives in use in the UK

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )


 * Article appears to be a duplicate of existing UK railway lists. For example, the rolling stock used by franchises are in the article itself, and there are lists detailing units by class there. Additionally, the article features lots of duplication - see the many appearances of the Class 158 in this list.  G R '' (Contact me) (See my edits) 20:46, 2 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I was unable to find a concise list of all of the rolling stock in one place on the internet when I created this article. Yes the rolling stock used by franchises are in the individual articles (which is where the information came from) but I feel this article is useful because it brings all of those lists together in one place. Also, the only reason the Class 158 is on this list so many list so many times is because seven different operators use it. Mindi Crayon (talk) 16:34, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I am not knowledgeable in the general topic area, but this looks like a useful, informative, comprehensive compilation of things of a certain type.  As wp:CLT covers, having a list is complementary to having categories (such as Category:British Rail diesel multiple units, etc.), allowing for photographs and notes and sources.  As a small note, I think the word "Locomotives" should be downcased in the article title, and perhaps UK should be "United Kingdom". -- do  ncr  am  02:29, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Edit heavily. This article seems to mostly contain multiple units, which are NOT locomotives. If you go to the Locomotive page it clearly states;" A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train. A locomotive has no payload capacity of its own, and its sole purpose is to move the train along the tracks. In contrast, some trains have self-propelled payload-carrying vehicles. These are not normally considered locomotives, and may be referred to as multiple units, motor coaches or railcars." Dr Sludge (talk) 10:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
