Please could we define some terms. We do allow the use of industry 'slang' in our forum rules but these terms would appear to be very technical and in need of definition!
My apologies.
I didn't actually mean you and was talking more about what an EVN or NVR is! Interesting post though in any case
My apologies, they arn't slang or short hand etc, but the official titles AFAIK!
4.2 GB registered rail vehicles not intended to be used in international traffic
4.2.1 Display of rail vehicle identification number
4.2.1.1 Except for locomotives and passenger rail vehicles, the CR OPE TSI Annex P sets out the requirement for the full EVN to be displayed on rail vehicles. It is permissible to display a shortened form of the EVN on locomotive and passenger rail vehicles that are not intended to be used in international traffic.
A 2.4 It is permissible for the individual rail vehicles in multiple units and fixed formations that are not intended to be used in international traffic to display the GB equivalent number range excluding the leading zeros (three – six digits).
etc etc...

I was under the impression that it was obligatory for all EU railways to display EVN numbers as part of the NVR and was curious as to why no UK stock (bar some ECR 66s?) seem to carry them?
What about the cross-border trains between Eire and the UK?
The relevant European bodies have made the adoption of the European Vehicle Number (EVN) system (which is a development of the previous UIC numbering system) obligatory for all Railway Vehicles which are registered for operation in any member state of the EU.
Is it basically a European version of TOPS?
Apart from class 373s, 374s, "le shuttle locos" (can't remember what their class number is) and 92s I can't think of any other class that currently venture through the channel tunnel or will do
How about 319008 and 319009?

That would depend on how the Scottish and (not so) United Kingdom governments chose to translate the directive into their respective national legislative frameworks.A purely hypothetical question, but I was wondering had the Scottish Referendum passed would EVNs have been required then on trains operating over the borders?
In all likelihood the directive probably didn't exist then.
Do Irish/Northern Irish vehicles on corss border services carry full EVN? Or is there a "don't bother" agreement in place?
