Contradiction

"Four car unit, but was built as five, the fifth coach was written off following a severe engine fire at Starcross on 8 December 2005 [1]. This coach is now being repaired." (my emphasis). The two sentences clearly contradict each other - which is correct? Thryduulf 21:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Link to Bombardier

It would help to have a link to Bombardier, Inc. on this page:

Some Table items such as max speed, weight, capacity (pax, bicyles) engine power, ect. if not commercial in confidence how much does each train set cost?

Problems with Convert template results?

Is it just me, or is there a problem with the convert results in the infobox?

I am seeing:

"Car length 23.85 m ({{rnd/cExpression error: Unexpected < operatordecExpression error: Unexpected < operator|Expression error: Unexpected < operator|(Expression error: Unexpected < operator)}} in) driving end cars 22.82 m ({{rnd/cExpression error: Unexpected < operatordecExpression error: Unexpected < operator|Expression error: Unexpected < operator|(Expression error: Unexpected < operator)}} in) other cars

Width 2.73 m ({{rnd/cExpression error: Unexpected < operatordecExpression error: Unexpected < operator|Expression error: Unexpected < operator|(Expression error: Unexpected < operator)}} in) "

Similarly on the British Rail Class 220 page, I am seeing:

"Width 2.73 m ({{rnd/cExpression error: Unexpected < operatordecExpression error: Unexpected < operator|Expression error: Unexpected < operator|(Expression error: Unexpected < operator)}} in) "

I can't spot any recent changes to these pages, or to the convert template page, which might have caused this. What's the problem?

Someone sorted out the class 220 page by adding an extra term 0| in the call to the convert template. I'm not sure why this problem has just occurred, but this seems to be the solution. David Biddulph (talk) 08:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tch.

Not a one of them called Captain Kathryn Janeway, even though they had to give the last one of the series a naff corporate name? For shame :D 77.102.101.220 (talk) 20:55, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Commons images

Hi. Just to let you know, the Commons category for Class 221s is now completely sorted by operator and livery. -mattbuck (Talk) 14:30, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

cross country tilt disabled?

I thought I had read somewhere that the Class 221s now being operated by CrossCountry had had their tilt mechanism disabled, in order to improve reliability, since tilt isn't relevant to the routes they use. But there seems to be no mention of this in the article. Has anybody got info about this? -- Alarics (talk) 20:57, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, I remember reading that too, and I eventually found it hidden away at Bombardier Voyager family#Class 221. I also note that it is unreferenced, so you may wish to read it somewhere else as well, before adding it here where it belongs (if true). Tim PF (talk) 23:32, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Alarics (talk) 10:03, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
