'''Electrostar''' is the name given to a series of related [[electric multiple unit|electric multiple-unit]] (EMU) passenger trains manufactured by [[Bombardier Transportation]] (formerly [[Adtranz|ADtranz]]) at their [[Derby Carriage and Wagon Works|Litchurch Lane Works]] in [[Derby]], England. Since the [[privatisation of British Rail]], it has become the most common new EMU type in [[UK|Britain]], where different variants referred to as [[British Rail Class 357|Class 357]], [[British Rail Class 375|Class 375]], [[British Rail Class 376|Class 376]], [[British Rail Class 377|Class 377]], [[British Rail Class 378|Class 378]], [[British Rail Class 379|Class 379]] and [[British Rail Class 387|Class 387]], are most common on the high-volume suburban commuter routes in [[South London|South]], [[North London|North]] and [[East London]], and mainline services south to [[Surrey]], [[Sussex]], [[Kent]] & South [[Essex]] coasts and north to [[Cambridge]] and [[Stansted Airport]] . It shares the same bodyshell and core structure as the [[Turbostar]], which is in turn the most common post-privatisation [[diesel multiple unit]] (DMU) family, and both evolved from the [[British Rail Class 168|Class 168 ''Clubman'']] design by ADtranz.

The Clubman/Turbostar/Electrostar platform is a modular design, which share the same basic design, bodyshell and core structure, and is optimised for speedy manufacture and easy maintenance. It consists of an [[underframe]], which is created by seam-welding a number of aluminium alloy [[extrusion]]s, upon which bodyside panels are mounted followed by a single piece roof, again made from extruded sections. The car ends (cabs) are made from [[glass-reinforced plastic]] and steel, and are huck-bolted onto the main car bodies. Underframe components are collected in ‘rafts’, which are bolted into slots on the underframe extrusion. The mostly aluminium alloy body gives light weight to help acceleration and energy efficiency.

The Electrostar was also selected for use on the [[Gautrain]] system in South Africa, a new railway between [[Johannesburg]], [[Pretoria]], and the [[Johannesburg International Airport]]. The trains were assembled by [[UCW Partnership]] in South Africa from components made in Derby.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bombardier Selected Preferred Bidder for Rapid Rail System in South Africa|url=http://bombardier.com/en/corporate/media-centre/press-releases/details?docID=0901260d8000fbb4|publisher=Bombardier|accessdate=15 October 2012|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722192200/http://bombardier.com/en/corporate/media-centre/press-releases/details?docID=0901260d8000fbb4|archivedate=22 July 2011|date=2 July 2005|quote=Bombardier Transportation’s facility in Derby, United Kingdom, will be responsible for manufacturing the fleet of Electrostar vehicles, with final assembly performed in South Africa by UCW Partnership, a broad-based empowered subsidiary of Murray & Roberts.}}</ref>

[[Transport for London]] (TfL) announced in August 2006 that it had ordered 48 three- and four-car Electrostar trains for the new [[London Overground]] service. These were categorised by [[Network Rail]] as [[British Rail Class 378|Class 378]], and entered service in 2009 to replace the [[British Rail Class 313|Class 313]] and [[British Rail Class 508|Class 508]] on the [[North London Line]] and [[West London Line]], and to provide the opening service on the new [[East London line extension]] from 2010.<ref>{{cite web|title=TfL awards £223m new trains contract|url=http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/press-centre/press-releases/press-releases-content.asp?prID=882|publisher=Transport For London|accessdate=15 October 2012|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311024853/http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/press-centre/press-releases/press-releases-content.asp?prID=882|archivedate=11 March 2007|date=31 August 2006|quote=Funded by TfL's £10 billion Investment Programme, the new trains will operate on the North London Railway, which TfL will manage from November next year, and the extended East London Line.}}{{dead link|October 2012|date=October 2012}}</ref>

In 2009, as part of the government's wider rolling stock plan, an order was placed for thirty four-car [[British Rail Class 379|Class 379]] Electrostar units intended for use by [[National Express East Anglia]] (now operated by [[Abellio Greater Anglia]]) on the [[Stansted Express]] and [[West Anglia Main Line|West Anglia]] services.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.railfuture.org.uk/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=1071|title=Express delivery|publisher=[[Railfuture]]|date=4 April 2009|accessdate=19 July 2010}}</ref> The first of the new [[British Rail Class 379|Class 379]] units entered passenger service on Thursday 3 March 2011 running the 20:10 [[Stansted Express]] from London Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport and the 21:15 return service.

This leaves the [[Bromley North Line]] and [[Sheerness Line]], both operated by [[British Rail Class 466|Class 466s]] (2 car Networkers) which also used to operate on the [[Medway Valley Line]] prior to the May 2012 Timetable Changes.

===Southern===
[[Image:377120 at Clapham Junction.jpg|100px|thumb|right|300px|A Southern [[British Rail Class 377|Class 377]].]]
Southern's Class 377 fleet is found on all parts of the network apart from the non-electrified routes. They also now run frequently in metro routes alongside the [[British Rail Class 455|Class 455s]] and used to run alongside the [[British Rail Class 456|Class 456s]] until their transfer to [[South West Trains]] in 2014.

===London Overground===
[[Image:Unit 378149 at Crystal Palace.JPG|100px|thumb|right|300px|A London Overground [[British Rail Class 378|Class 378]] in TfL livery at Crystal Palace.]]
[[London Overground]] operates Class 378s over five lines around London:
*[[North London Line]] (Richmond–Stratford)
*[[West London Line]] (Clapham Junction–Stratford)
*[[Watford DC Line]] (Euston–Watford)
*[[East London Line]] (Clapham Junction/Crystal Palace/New Cross/West Croydon–Highbury & Islington via Canada Water)

The sixth major route it's responsible for is the unelectrified [[Gospel Oak to Barking Line]]. For this, London Overground obtained [[British Rail Class 172|Class 172 Turbostar]] [[diesel multiple unit|DMUs]].

===Thameslink===
[[File:L F CC 377508 1.JPG|thumb|right|300px|Thameslink Bombardier Class 377/5 Electrostar No. 377508 is seen arriving at [[St Albans City railway station|St. Albans]], with a southbound service for [[Brighton railway station|Brighton]].]]
From March 2009 First Capital Connect (now Thameslink) ran 23 x 4 car Class 377's on the [[Thameslink]] Bedford to Brighton route, this increased to 26 x 4 car Class 377's in late 2011. This arrangement has continued since the franchise transferred to [[Govia Thameslink Railway]] in September 2014.

*[[Thameslink]], Bedford to Brighton
*[[Thameslink]], Bedford to Ashford International/Gillingham/Bearsted/Rochester peak only services. (These services are jointly run by [[Govia Thameslink Railway]] and [[Southeastern (train operating company)|Southeastern]] with services north of [[Blackfriars, London|Blackfriars]] operated by Thameslink and south by Southeastern - until December 2014 when Thameslink took over the whole route)

===Gautrain (South Africa)===
On 8 June 2010, the route between [[Sandton (Gautrain station)|Sandton]] and [[OR Tambo International Airport]] in South Africa opened in time for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/08/gautrain-africa-high-speed-train The Guardian: Welcome aboard the Gautrain, Africa's first high-speed urban train] Accessed 12 June 2010</ref> The rest between [[Johannesburg Park Station]] and [[Rosebank, Gauteng|Rosebank]] was to be completed in 2011. This section was actually opened 7 June 2012,<ref>{{cite web | title =Gautrain Rapid Rail Link: Park Station Opening| accessdate=15 November 2014 | url = http://www.gautrain.co.za/newsroom/2012/06/park-station-to-open-on-thursday-07-june/| work = Official Gautrain Website}}</ref> the delay caused by work to resolve a water-seepage problem in the single-track tunnel section between Rosebank and Park. Although railways in South Africa use the {{RailGauge|1067mm|lk=on}} Cape gauge, Gautrain is built to the more expensive [[standard gauge]] of {{RailGauge|sg}}. According to the Gautrain planning and implementation study,<ref>{{cite web | title =Gautrain Rapid Rail Link: Planning and Implementation Study| accessdate=12 June 2010 | url = http://www.gautrain.co.za/contents/Tech%20Rep%202%204%20GAUGE%20Data%20Room%20Rev0.pdf|format=PDF| work = Official Gautrain Website}}</ref> this is done for several reasons, including that standard gauge is safer and more comfortable to passengers. The rolling stock is also easier, quicker and less expensive to obtain than Cape Gauge rolling stock, and standard gauge is also less expensive to maintain as it is more tolerant of track imperfections than Cape Gauge. Standard gauge allows for travel at Gautrain's required speed of {{convert|160|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.

All units had entered service by mid-August 2011, two months ahead of schedule. A major timetable update in December 2011 entailed the introduction of 12-car trains on some peak workings to and from Cambridge.<ref>[http://www.nationalexpresseastanglia.com/dec11 "New timetable for the West Anglia network"]. National Express East Anglia. Retrieved 11 November 2011.</ref>

These trains are now operated by [[Abellio Greater Anglia]] as of 5 February 2012.

==Aircraft and crew==
The aircraft involved was a 13 year-old [[Boeing 777|Boeing 777-31H]] with the registration A6-EMW, [[manufacturer's serial number|msn]] 434. It had made its first flight on 7 March 2003, and was delivered new to Emirates on 28 March 2003. It had two [[Rolls-Royce Trent 800|Rolls-Royce Trent 892]] engines.<ref name=ASN030816/>

==Flight==

'''Bras Basah MRT Station (CC2)''' is an underground [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Mass Rapid Transit]] [[Metro station|station]] on the [[Circle MRT Line|Circle Line]] in the [[Museum District, Singapore|Museum District]] of [[Singapore]], surrounded by the [[Singapore Management University]]. This station opened on 17 April 2010.<ref name="News">{{cite web| url=http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_515698.html | title=11 Circle line stations open | publisher=The Straits Times | date=2010-04-17}}</ref>

==History==
The station's construction required the realignment of Bras Basah Road for 2 years before re-cladding of the Singapore Management University for another 2 years. This station was completed in April 2007 mainly due to the presence of Singapore Management University.

The station was commissioned through the Marina Line Architectural Design Competition jointly organized by the [[Land Transport Authority]] and the [[Singapore Institute of Architects]]. The competition required no track record and is acknowledged by the industry as one of the best run competitions held in Singapore to date.

In 2009, "Best Transport Building" was awarded to the designers at [[WOHA]] Architects at the World Architecture Festival.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.worldbuildingsdirectory.com/project.cfm?id=1780 | title=Bras Basah Mass Rapid Transit Station | work=World Buildings Director | accessdate=11 October 2013}}</ref>

During the opening of the station on 17 April 2010, Transport Minister [[Raymond Lim]], who officiated the opening, said : "The Circle Line will enhance the quality of commute for the public – connecting homes, workplaces and social and recreational destinations more quickly and seamlessly." He also added that the stations will connect commuters to the "doorsteps of major cultural destinations" like [[Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay|the Esplanade]] and [[Fort Canning]].

In addition, it won the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and International Architecture Awards in 2011. This station was 'featured' in [[Hellgate: London]] video game, when Windows Vista came out together.

==Nearby buildings==
The station is located near [[Singapore Art Museum]], nearby to [[Waterloo Street]] and a few minutes walk to [[Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts]]. It is also linked to the [[Singapore Management University]] and Plaza by the Park tower at concourse level, below [[Bras Basah Road]].

==Architecture==
The station is 35 metres below ground and its [[island platform]] is located at basement 5. It was the deepest station from its opening until 22 December 2013 when the Downtown Line at [[Promenade MRT Station]] was completed. It is also the station with the longest escalator, at 41 metres which stretches from the ticket concourse to the transfer level and takes approximately one minute to travel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/data/apps/news/press/2010/Bras%2520Basah%2520Station%2520Factsheet.pdf|title=Factsheet Bras Basah Station|date=16 April 2010|website=Land Transport Authority|access-date=30 March 2016}}</ref>

To let light into the station, a reflective pool of water with glass panels outside the [[Singapore Management University]] was created.

A video work was commissioned for the Art in Transit for this station. It is presented in 29 units of sound and images, forming a narrative of an action figure caught in a Chain of Wonderful Underwater Adventures. It is displayed in the evening at the concourse level of the station.

[[Datei:Class 800 in testing 2015.jpg|mini|[[British Rail Class 800]] des [[Intercity Express Programme]]]]
'''''Trainspotting Live''''' war eine überwiegend live übertragene Fernsehsendung der [[BBC Four]], die vom 11. bis 13. Juli 2016 gesendet wurde.

Das Konzept ähnelte dem von früheren ''Live''-Sendungen der BBC wie ''Airport Live'' und ''Volcano Live''. Die Sendung wurde von [[Peter Snow]], [[Hannah Fry]], [[Dick Strawbridge]] und Tim Dunn vom [[Didcot Railway Centre]] in [[Didcot]] präsentiert. ''Trainspotting Live'' zeigte auch bereits im Vorfeld aufgezeichnete Berichte und Interviews. Die Live-Kameras zeigten den Bahnverkehr auf der nahegelegenen [[Great Western Main Line]]. Während der Sendung wurden die Zuschauer aufgefordert, vor kurzem aufgenommene Videos von Zügen einzureichen, und bekamen die Aufgabe, als sogenannte [[Spotter#Eisenbahn|Trainspotter]] die Sichtung einer speziellen Lokomotive zu dokumentieren sowie einen ungewöhnlichen Zug, der den Spitznamen „The Holy Grail of the Rail“ hat, zu sichten.

== Kritik und Kontroversen ==
In der ersten Episode sagte Peter Snow aus Versehen, das ein fünf Monate altes Video einer ''Class 66'' bei der Auslieferung eine Live-Übertragung sei. Das führte zu Beschwerden von Trainspottern und der [[Fauxpas]] wurde auf der Titelseite der Zeitschrift ''The Sun'' thematisiert. Ein Sprecher der BBC sagte, dass die Show in der Aufregung einer Liveübertragung einen Fehler gemacht habe (that „the show had made a mistake in the ‘excitement of a live broadcast’“).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/13/bbc-admits-it-showed-five-month-old-live-footage-in-trainspottin/ | title=BBC admits it showed five-month-old 'live' footage in Trainspotting show | publisher=The Telegraph | accessdate=14.

This resulted in complaints from Trainspotters and the gaffe made the front pages of ''The Sun'' newspaper.
