welshdragon 315 posts	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-30102406 I'm confused by this article, Isn't GatEx operated by 442's? Why have they used a 317 image? Log in to reply

Correct, GatEx is operated by 442s. The new-builds are Class 387s, which are part of the same family as the Class 375 pictured. In any case, photos published by non-specialist sites are very rarely accurate. If in doubt, don't believe them!

Looks like a 375 to me and are they not saying that the new trains will be of the Electrostar family hence the photo of an Electrostar? Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs!

Gwasanaethau 509 posts	Wow that’s an old picture! It still has its old Tightlock coupler! Those became 377s a while ago (about ten years) when the couplers were replaced with Dellners. Log in to reply
