Footnotes

  • The 'Britannia' class 'Pacifics' were the first British Railways standard design introduced in 1951. A brand new locomotive was exhibited at the Festival of Britain of that year, and many of the class were named after the British Poets and early British Heroes, the balance mainly taken from the class Great Western Locomotives and several Scottish Firths.
