- 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

- 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.

- 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.

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
