should the max speed be put on the table as well or not e.g. British Rail Class 253 max designed speed of 125 m.p.h and max speed reached 148 m.p.h? Wich speed should used? To say yes put the word yes at the front of your comment. To say Not Sure put the word Not Sure at the front of your comment. To say No put the word No at the front of your comment. On the 11th of April 2021 I will look and see if it should be done.--I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 19:23, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes please because it would make it so you could compare the max speeds a lot easier than if not done.--I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 19:23, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Your question is very unclear. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:32, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Based upon what Nightfury has written below: any infoboxes or summary tables should only show the maximum permitted speed, with sources. One-offs and "records" may be mentioned in the text of the article about the specific class, but again, only with sources. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:40, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• As above - user has been blocked twice (and is currently blocked) from making mainspace edits. Considering that the 11th March has long passed I don't see this happening any time soon. With regards to what I think the OP is saying; the answer is no. The userbox is for the design speed (if available) and the service speed of said stock. Any world record can go in the main lede of the article with appropriate sourcing. We also already have Railway speed records for reference as well. Nightfury 08:32, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Southern has withdrawn their 313s from service, and they are no longer in the timetable from the May 2023 timetable change. I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 16:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A source to support that would be useful. Anything in any of the trade or enthusiast press? 10mmsocket (talk) 17:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So that didn't take long. Reputable source too. Here you go - https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23490845.enthusiasts-celebrate-southern-class-313-trains-rail-tour/ 10mmsocket (talk) 17:02, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't give a date but does confirm the intent to withdraw - https://www.railtechnologymagazine.com/articles/class-313-put-out-pasture 10mmsocket (talk) 17:04, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
