Classification
editI would like to add a paragraph like this:
The original units were coded 4-CIG and 4-BIG. As with the earlier 4-COR, 4-CEP, 4-BUF and 4-BEP units, the "C" denoted "corridor", and the "B" denoted "buffet". The letters "IG" are the old LBSCR telegraphic code for Brighton. Under TOPS, 4-CIG became 421, and 4-BIG became 420; the latter was amended to 422 in 1984.

Possible change to the title of this article
editThis article is currently named in accordance the Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Railways naming conventions for British rolling stock allocated a TOPS number. A proposal to change this convention and/or its scope is being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#Naming convention, where your comments would be welcome.
'Car length'
editIn the sidebar, the dimension 'Car length' is given, but the value evidently relates to an entire 4-car unit. Someone who has a reference for actual car-length is invited to enter both it and the correct value -- or failing this, to change the parameter to 'Unit length'. 165.120.98.3 (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Something Odd
editAccording to you, the Class 421/3s only went up to 1753. However, I just found a photo that seems to suggest otherwise.
I apologize for the length. But anyway, if the 421/3s only wine up to 1753, why does the one in that photo have the number of 1754? Dinoboyaz (talk) 23:09, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- I refuse to click that link - it has a massive query string, and I don't trust it. Who knows what it will do? --Redrose64 (talk) 23:23, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
