Talk:British Rail Class 398

Floor height

Will it be a the standard British rail platform height with the floor like the metro link network or at a tram height like Croydon tram?--I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 08:58, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

These will operate on existing NR lines, and will use standard infrastructure, like Metrolink did. However, they are notable in having lower floors than most GB stock (with the exception of other Stadler units) allowing level boarding into them from a standard 915mm platform.

Has anyone got a photo of a "de-yellowed" 398?

Has anyone got a photo of a "de-yellowed" 398 they wouldn't mind adding to Commons? They've now started to enter service with this intended look. Anamyd (talk) 15:48, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

I know you're just having a bit of laugh, but what do you mean exactly? Anamyd (talk) 17:50, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

The amount of wibble that goes on when yellow front ends are removed is hilarious - indeed there's an entire satire Facebook group dedicated to it! Danners430 _{tweaks made} 17:54, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
