Talk:British Rail Class 315

Gallery Images

At present the images in the gallery are a bit repetetive: three of the four are of 315s with the same operaor in the same livery. Would anyone mind if some of these were replaced by more varied ones? Also, it would be nice to have some inline images as well. Alzarian16 (talk) 18:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Does the gallery look better now that I have added more images to it?--Peter Skuce (talk) 23:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

To a degree, although it is rather dominated by 'one' and NXEA images. A few more WAGN and at least one First Great Eastern would be nice. I also rather liked the overhead shot, so perhaps we should reinstate that in place of one platform-level shot. Then there's the running issue of inline images, which should probably be added here. But it's good that someone's interested in this article as it's been rather neglected until now. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Trains replaced by Class 315

I reverted two edits. Class 306 comprised 92 3-car units (276 cars total), enough for 30 9-car trains with two units spare; and class 315 comprised 61 4-car units (244 cars total), enough for 30 8-car trains with one unit spare, so it's hard to see how Class 315 could replace another class as well as Class 306. Consider also that Class 315 were all in service by the end of 1981, and general withdrawal of Class 305 didn't begin until 1984. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:55, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Scrapped count in Fleet Details table

If we can substantiate "Number scrapped: 53" in the infobox, can we not also do that in the Fleet Details table that currently lists only nine units? XAM2175 ^(T) 20:09, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Class 315s under British Rail

The article has no information about where Class 315s operated under British Rail. I might ask for advice over at the Rail UK forums. But I am also requesting edits from anyone watching this page, please. Matt's talk 03:35, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Liverpool Street-Shenfield. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

The 1987 photo also suggests Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria, at least on a limited basis. The 1982 BR Timetable is available on Timetable World (see https://timetableworld.com/ttw-viewer.php?token=132730db-8ad2-4152-9459-9d410b64c1ea); presumably all second-class-only services were operated by 315s as their predecessors, the 306s, were withdrawn by 1981. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:85F:9AAB:7A00:ACB5:9E78:9B8A:D904 (talk) 09:19, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 28 December 2022

The reason that the article is protected is because of the number of changes which weren't supported by references to reliable sources. Do you have a reliable source to support the changes which you propose? --David Biddulph (talk) 00:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Synchronising the Number Scrapped count in the infobox with the Scrapped count in the Fleet Details table

Shouldn’t the Number Scrapped count in the infobox always match the Scrapped count in the Fleet Details table? Currently the Scrapped count in the Fleet Details table is 39. That’s the only count that has references to substantiate it. Currently the Number Scrapped count in the infobox is 55. That appears to have no reference to substantiate it, and is probably a calculated figure, based on the Number Built count and an outdated Number in Service count. So the Number Scrapped count in the infobox should be set to 39 shouldn't it? 2A01:4B00:87C9:D800:3D18:595E:851C:9F6A (talk) 19:22, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

 Done Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 19:31, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Correct, my fault for forgetting to update the infobox when I split the "lost" 18 units out of the scrapped row in the table. XAM2175 ^(T) 20:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

According to Tran Logger there is only two 315s left.

This might be a reliable source for scrapped units. The two are supposedly 315853 & 315856. The reason I am posting it here is so that people can chose where this is a reliable enough source for wiki. https://trainlogger.co.uk/class/315 I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 16:45, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
