British Rail Class 97 - Allocation of Numbers

Allocation of Numbers

Class 97 numbers were allocated in one of three ways:

  • Application of 97 prefix to pre-TOPS number - e.g. Western Region shunters PWM 650–654 became 97650–97654.
  • TOPS class number replaced by 97 prefix - e.g. Former Class 47 locomotive 47472 became 97472.
  • Allocation of number in a series commencing from 97x01, where x represented the engine power Type (1 to 5), '7' for ex-multiple unit conversions and '8' for diesel shunters.
