Cycling lions

The logo which is currently captioned at the cycling lion isn't the one I'd call that. I'm thinking of the one which appeared on loco tenders with BRITISH RAILWAYS with the words separated by a large wheel, with a lion standing over the wheel with its feet on the lettering. Anybody got a photo? -- Arwel 15:32, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Sectorisation

What were the five sectors? Intercity, NSE, and Regional Rlys, gives two more, one infrastructure and one freight, but what were they called? Dunc_Harris| 18:41, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Great Locomotive Cull?

That seems to be a neologism; searches for that phrase bring up Wikipedia mirrors. Is there a more commonly used term? —Morven 19:25, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

Regions

The article refers to six regions, one of which was "North Eastern Region" - ICBW, but I don't remember there ever being such a thing. I think the regions were just - Scottish, LM, Western, Southern and Eastern (Eastern covering all of the former LNER territories in England as of the 1980s; I don't know which region the former Great Central mainline fell under, though).

Oh you youngster! North Eastern Region was based at York and existed until 1967. -- Arwel 22:16, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
