Nicknames

Lewisham2221 · 19th July 2005, 13:02

Following a few of us getting confused by the use of nicknames for trains (eg Skoda for a class 90) I thought it would be useful/helpful if we could compile a list of trains and nicknames to hopefully prevent future confusion

TBH I only know a few really,

37 = Tractor
66 = Shed
67 = Skip
90 = Skoda

Please add more...

144 - donkey

Commuters worst nightmare. It will never happen, one of these peterborough to london, unless things with one get worse and they trade more 360s for a load of 144s, and what about running 317s to peterborough, the one i saw yesterday hadn't had an overhaul since 1994, still in part nse livery.
