What is British Rail locomotive and multiple unit numbering and classification?
A number of different numbering and classification schemes were used for locomotives and multiple units operated by [[British Rail]]ways (BR), and this page explains the principal systems. This section also covers the post-privatisation period, as the broad numbering and classification arrangements have not altered since the break-up of BR. ==Related pages== For further information on individual classes of locomotive or multiple unit, see these pages: * [[List of British Rail classes]] * [[Steam locomotives of British Railways]] * [[Locomotives of the Great Western Railway]] * [[Locomotives of the Southern Railway]] * [[Locomotives of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] * [[Locomotives of the London and North Eastern Railway]] Related pages on BR numbering and classification include: * [[British Rail TOPS first arrangement]] * [[British Rail Regional Multiple Unit Numbering]] * [[British Carriage and Wagon Numbering and Classification]] * [[Route availability]] {{British railway rolling stock numbering and classification}} {{transport-stub}} [[Category:British Rail]] [[Category:Locomotive classification systems]]
