18:0118:01, 8 September 2024 diff hist +8 British Rail Class 507 →Liveries: swap photo depicting heritage BR livery for one showing more of the unit side

15:4115:41, 23 August 2024 diff hist +183 British Rail Class 506 →Preservation: No such carriage as M59494M - this is an erroneous reference to M59404M. Alternative reference added with correct number.

19:2919:29, 9 August 2024 diff hist +3 New Routemaster →Production: unsure of the wheelbase dimensions, but 10.1 m and 11.3 m are the overall lengths, not the wheelbases

10:1010:10, 23 June 2024 diff hist 0 British Rail Class 802 →Incidents: change tense (see earlier refs to the same trial)
10:0710:07, 23 June 2024 diff hist +471 British Rail Class 802 →Incidents: The unit damaged in the shunting accident was 802207, not 802206

20:0320:03, 5 June 2024 diff hist −1 British Rail Class 507 →Fleet details: fix numbers, plus the fact that it's not possible for the sum of vehicles scrapped plus those in non-railway use to exceed three

17:0617:06, 8 May 2024 diff hist −59 British Rail Class 91 →Preservation: The magazine source given does not say that 91110 or 91111 are to be preserved, and neither does the current RHDAB designations list. Nameplates, plaques, artwork etc. are designated, not the locos themselves.

12:3412:34, 6 May 2024 diff hist +954 Talk:British Rail Class 91 →RHDAB designations: new section current Tag: New topic

19:0119:01, 2 May 2024 diff hist +134 B roads in Zone 5 of the Great Britain numbering scheme →B5300 to B5399: Add historical B5324 (source: OS One Inch 7th Series) and present-day remnant of B5350 (source: OS 1:50000 on Bing Maps); also sp. Shell -> Sheil Road

13:4813:48, 28 April 2024 diff hist +28 Plaxton Verde →Design: Quarterlights (the glazing between the cab side window and the windscreen) not to be mixed up with headlights current

09:0509:05, 25 April 2024 diff hist +65 Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway →Present day: Preserved ELR does not go towards Bolton

20:4920:49, 19 April 2024 diff hist 0 m List of level crossing crashes →United Kingdom: punctuation

19:2419:24, 13 April 2024 diff hist −24 British Rail Class 210 →Operations: Reword: three driving vehicles cannot have been scrapped, given that two out of four still exist, one in preservation and one in a Class 455 (albeit no longer as a driving vehicle)
09:3009:30, 13 April 2024 diff hist −12 British Rail Class 777 Not a UK first: the Class 419 MLVs were 750v third-rail units with batteries for use on unpowered track; and BR had a passenger BEMU on the Ballater branch in the 1950s/60s

12:2112:21, 17 February 2024 diff hist +510 British Rail Class 508 →Merseyrail: Unsure how many units were operated by Merseyrail (the TOC) as distinct from Merseyrail (the network) but was definitely more than 25. Clarify that all 43 did operate on Merseyrail (the network) at some point.

19:0019:00, 22 July 2023 diff hist 0 InterCity 125 →Damaged vehicles and accidents: corrected power car numbers - can only be 43xxx, and final three digits confirmed in RAIB report

22:5022:50, 25 May 2023 diff hist +10 Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway →Present Day: clarify "one train per day" as passenger service
22:3822:38, 25 May 2023 diff hist +203 Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway →Present Day: note cessation of final regular passenger service, and resolve contradictory info re freight services

18:0418:04, 20 April 2023 diff hist +18 British Rail Class 210 5912's original TSO (71725) was not written off; it is still in service, as part of 5905. The trailer it (indirectly) replaced was 71731, which had suffered weakening from the plug door experiment, as referenced in the Class 455 article.
17:5517:55, 20 April 2023 diff hist +39 British Rail Class 210 Clarify re-use of carriages in 316 (457)

20:1620:16, 22 December 2022 diff hist +147 British Rail Class 455 →Class 455/9: previous wording implied that not all 455/9 had new build TSO. Rearranged text to avoid this erroneous inference, also to make it more chronological.
19:2219:22, 22 December 2022 diff hist −1 m British Rail Class 397 Lose orphaned bracket

20:3020:30, 10 November 2022 diff hist −2 m British Rail Class 397 Remove brackets that make sentence less rather than more clear

19:3719:37, 5 October 2022 diff hist +28 British Rail Class 321 →Swift Express: name reference for use in later section
19:3619:36, 5 October 2022 diff hist +22 British Rail Class 321 →Fleet details: conversion took place a while ago, so amended from future tense

20:2220:22, 27 August 2022 diff hist −2 Tyne and Wear Metrocar →Refurbishment: The already-cited source states that they were restricted to peak services, not from them

14:0014:00, 2 July 2022 diff hist −15 British Rail Class 317 →Greater Anglia: rewording to avoid inferences re (1) that those units covered entire franchise and (2) how many of them remain in use. Also latter -> last, since "latter" is always out of two rather than of more.

16:5216:52, 8 June 2022 diff hist +2 British Rail Class 325 Twelve carriages are visible in the photo, so it's three units, not two

10:4110:41, 30 April 2022 diff hist +204 British Rail Class 357 1973 stock article does not mention Julie Berry. Provided a reference instead.

11:4411:44, 22 January 2022 diff hist −1 m British Rail Class 317 →Fleet details: row counts amended to fix bottom border of table

19:0819:08, 10 January 2022 diff hist −53 Yatzy Removed statement which refers to Yahtzee, not Yatzy — too tangential to be appropriate to the leading sentence of this article, as well as raising a slight risk of misinterpretation.

21:4121:41, 2 January 2022 diff hist +674 British Rail Class 321 Undid revision 1063326010 by 10mmsocket (talk) Yes, it *would* be wrong to put new numbers in with existing references - that is why I did not do so! Try looking properly at changes before reverting them... Reference now added that these units' dispensation to operate has expired.
12:1112:11, 2 January 2022 diff hist −117 British Rail Class 321 →Fleet details: permission for non-PRM units to run has now expired and all except 301-330 and 901-903 stored Tag: Reverted

20:0520:05, 28 December 2021 diff hist +112 British Rail Class 150 →Prototypes: add later image of prototype unit

21:5821:58, 12 December 2021 diff hist −25 British Rail Class 230 Undid revision 1056597627 by G-13114 (talk) with the side completely in shadow and the front blurry, I don't believe that this image is higher quality than the previous one Tag: Undo
19:1919:19, 12 December 2021 diff hist −27 British Rail Class 317 →Class 317/2: previous wording reads better

21:3821:38, 2 December 2021 diff hist +40 British Rail Class 455 →Description: As per talk page - this paragraph implied that the change of class number was due to the choice of control system, however, this doesn't seem to be evidenced, so de-coupled the two statements

19:4619:46, 29 November 2021 diff hist +1,271 Talk:British Rail Class 455 →Classification / control system: new section
11:2511:25, 29 November 2021 diff hist +9 British Rail Class 317 →Fleet details: 317890 missing
11:2411:24, 29 November 2021 diff hist +63 British Rail Class 317 →Fleet details: fix table layout and count mismatch

11:3211:32, 13 November 2021 diff hist +1 British Rail Class 306 →Withdrawal and preservation: Yellow no longer mandatory, so replaced phrase "present-day"
11:2511:25, 13 November 2021 diff hist −1 British Rail Class 303 →Further use: Remove spurious extra digit from former number
11:1411:14, 13 November 2021 diff hist 0 British Rail Class 310 Fix image caption - 310090 not 310009

15:2815:28, 16 October 2021 diff hist +83 British Rail Class 150 →Prototypes

12:1912:19, 2 October 2021 diff hist −2 British Rail Class 230 →Transport for Wales: "Trailing car" and (arguably) "driver's side" are dependent on the direction of travel, and "secondman's side" is an outdated term in any case, so reworded

16:0416:04, 1 September 2021 diff hist +4 m Seddon Pennine 7 →In retrospect: wikilink

11:4211:42, 27 August 2021 diff hist −2 British Rail Class 230 Indicate key difference between the classes - every train has a different rolling stock number, so that's not really informative
11:3711:37, 27 August 2021 diff hist −19 British Rail Class 484 Indicate key difference between the classes - every train has a different rolling stock number, so that's not really informative

22:1422:14, 26 July 2021 diff hist −57 British Rail Class 315 →Preservation: Better to stick to the facts as stated in the announcement rather than adding inferences

17:4517:45, 26 June 2021 diff hist +67 Merseyside Police →Governance: JK no longer PCC, so amended wording
