Some of these should provide refrences for this article:
The table of fleet locations is very brightly coloured. Do these colours have any significance? If not, I'd say they should be toned down a bit. Firstly because the contrast with black text, especially on the orange and green, is not good and this may impair the ability of some people to read them. The other reasons are less important: secondly because the orange and yellow are a bit close, functionally, and imply a connection between the statuses; and thirdly because there may be green-orange colour-blindness problems. Basically, using colour to convey information on the web isn't a great idea when good layout and text can do it. – Kieran T (talk) 16:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
I've seen people say that these were the last British trains to be built with compartments. Is that true? If so, it seems significant enough for at least a passing mention. 86.132.140.207 (talk) 23:53, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
The acronyms for the vehicle formations are used but never explained - this is bad. My guess at their meaning is:
Is their really only one motor coach per set? Thryduulf (talk) 13:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
I was looking at the acronyms for the class 442 and the British Rail coach designations, the acronyms posted on the class 442 page do not make sense.
Below is how they look now:
I believe theyy should be something like this:

In the location key, it says in yellow Lovers Walk for Mileage Accumulation - what does this mean? -mattbuck (Talk) 23:53, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Before a train comes into service, it needs to accumulate some miles to make sure the train is in working order. I feel this description is not needed as it is not in line with the complexity of the article and I have therefore removed it. Ashley.f5 (talk) 14:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi. Just to let you know, the Commons category for Class 442s is now completely sorted by line, operator and livery. -mattbuck (Talk) 02:24, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
This article is currently named in accordance the Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Railways naming conventions for British rolling stock allocated a TOPS number. A proposal to change this convention and/or its scope is being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways#Naming convention, where your comments would be welcome.
The lead says that using the trains for an airport rail link was controversial as they were "not designed for airport rail links". Could we have some clarification on what this means? What is different about a railway that goes to an airport and why does it require a different train? Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 14:29, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

I've updated the picture in the infobox to reflect the fleet's current operator and moved the previous pic of the GX unit to the article body --- I understand that the picture is lower quality compared to the previous one, so it is hoped that a new, better quality picture will be used once the trains re-enter revenue service. Feel free to roll back this change if the quality is considered too poor compared to the rest. Supchppt (talk) 12:23, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
this picture you uploaded only shows the first carriage. Per WP:RECENTISM - we don't need the most up-to-date photograph (otherwise we would be continually updating the pictures!) - what we do need is the most illustrative photograph. A key technical point is that this is a 5 car unit, so we need to show that. 
is good because it shows an entire unit, there isn't a platform in the way, the lighting could be sunnier but it's not bad. A better photo is possible though. Commons, as usual is a source of mostly crap pictures with a few useful ones. Tony May (talk) 03:33, 18 April 2019 (UTC)ReplyWe have some better photos available now including of the new livery.

This editbySavageKieran (talk · contribs) - and its sourcing - reads as if some journalist doesn't know how railway signalling works. The signals are supposed to turn red as the train passes, any other colour is asking for trouble. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:18, 6 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
