+== Overview ==
+The '''British Rail Class 508''' is a type of electric multiple-unit train built by BREL, as part of their PEP family. These trains are currently in use on [[Waterline]].
 == Trivia ==
+* Players are often confused by this train's lack of a door opening chime, as well as its odd horn.
-* This is the oldest type of electric multiple-unit in the game, having entered service in 1979. The oldest train would be the [[Class 43]], which was introduced in 1975.
-* When introduced, this was the only train to have automatic pocket doors. The [[Class 319|Class&nbsp;319]], [[Class 321]], [[Class 707]], [[Class 802]] and [[Class 801]] also have that after being upgraded.
+* This train shares a record with the [[Class 458|Class 458/5]] and [[Class 465]] for the slowest train in SCR.
+* This was the first train with [[Next Generation|Next Generation V1]] doors and interiors in service with [[Waterline]].
-* These trains, the [[Class 68]] and the [[Class 43]] are the only ones in the game without a door opening chime.
-* This train is the 1st Electric train and 2nd overall train to be [[Next Generation]].
+* This train, alongside the [[Class 319]], was the only train in service with Waterline to not be refurbished on the day of the [[SCR Version 1.5|May 2020 franchise renewal]].
+* In real life, this train is currently in service with Merseyrail, and is due to be scrapped and replaced by the Class 777. It was previously in use with multiple operators for services around London.
-* This train's horn cuts off. (as you can hear.)
-* This train horn is unique, as no other trains have the same horn.
-* The Class 508 is one of the most slowest trains in all of Stepford County Railway, with a max speed of '''75''' MPH along with [[Class 465]] and [[Class 458|Class 458/5]].
-* In real life, these trains currently are operated by Merseyrail and were formerly operated by British Rail Southern Region, Southeastern and Silverlink.
-* The Class 508 has the same motor as the [[Class 319]] and the [[Class 321]] on [[Connect]].
-* These trains are similar to the Class 313, 314 and 315, none of which operate in SCR at this time.
-* This train and the [[Class 319]] are the only trains in the game with 3 cab windows.
-* The 508 has a twin class, the Class 507, also operated by Merseyrail - the main difference is that the 507 units have always been 3-car trains, whilst the 508 units were built as 4-car trains, until they were transferred to Merseyrail.
-* The Class 508 and [[Class 319]] are the only two WaterLine trains whose exterior livery is still apparently painted with the old dark blue WaterLine livery as of [[Version 1.5]], where the rest of the WaterLine trains have changed to a new specially painted WaterLine livery.
