- Older working timetables will show DMMU in the heading. This means Diesel Mechanical Multiple Unit (Classes 100-131; some units fitted with Hydraulic Transmission).
- Some trains comprised a DMU (DPU) + tail traffic (GUV, CCT or other NPCCS) on certain services particularly Parcels, Newspaper or Mail).
- Class 370 APT-P were formed of 2 half sets coupled together to form one train. There being no connection from one half to the other because of power car location (2 power cars coupled together in the middle of the train)
- If DMUs were working as multiple sets coupled together then the correct coupling code had to be present on each set (i.e. Orange Star could not couple to Blue Square).
- Although some codes could be coupled together if the units had special markings on the gear selector
- A special system was developed by Rolls Royce to enable Mechanical and Hydraulic Transmissions to work together; later discarded after an accident.
- Coupling Codes were visible on each end of the unit just above Solebar height.
- First Generation EMUs were generally able to couple in multiple within their own class but Southern Region stock could be mixed and matched to a degree.
- First Generation DMUs did in fairness last way beyond their intended lifespans with many still in service well in to the 1990s. Even with the new Pacer and Sprinter designs coming in to service some regions still didn’t have enough to go round and had to press older stock in to service to meet demand.
- A hotchpotch of old and new designs running side by side was the norm until the big new orders came in after privatisation which finally saw the elimination of the old diesel and electric designs.
- 1972 Mk 1 London Underground stock now mainly scrapped but 31 cars were converted to run with 1967 stock on the Victoria Line and 2 units were transferred to the Bakerloo Line to run with the 1972 Mk 2 trains. Some in departmental use by TFL.

- The number in parentheses indicates how many carriages there are per unit (note that units might be doubled/tripled whilst in service).
- Timing Load is only shown for train types with a specific Entry in the WTT, all other Timing Loads will be in the form DMU/EMU ###, where ### is the maximum permitted speed.
- Current operators are shown normally; former operators (or temporary transfers / operated on behalf of) are shown in parentheses. The 2 Letter codes are the relevant ATOC code, generally self-explanatory, but see list for any you’re not sure of.
- HSTs with less than three coaches between the two power cars are not permitted to run at DMU speeds.
- As of 7th December 2013, the SP module of the rule book no longer lists speed classes for trains. They are now entirely governed by the General Instructions of the Sectional Appendix. Additionally, the new RSSB handbook RS/521 Iss 1 §7.6 describes the term “EPS” with regards to speed classes.
- Several 2nd Generation DMU's and EMU's are now being scrapped as newer rolling stock is introduced. This process is likely to accelerate as many of the newer trains finish testing and enter service. Many Mark 3 and 4 coaches are also being scrapped as there are no operators now in need of their use and are therefore surplus to requirements. Although some HST power cars and coaches have been sold to Mexico and Nigeria.
- The Elizabeth Line is now fully open from 21/05/2023. Bond Street station open as of 24/10/22. Full through running commenced on Sunday 21/05/23. 24 trains per hour on the core section.
- Some problems with the Hitachi Azuma trains Class 800 and variants have seen many being taken out of service for checks leaving GWR and LNER in particular critically short of trains for a while; Said to be due to the trains being operated "outside of their design parameters"; Ongoing investigation to resolve this issue.
- Note not all new units with battery listed in the power section will use that mode in service. Some will only use battery power for depot moves so are not listed as BEMU.
