 Trivia

• 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 321, Class 707, Class 802 and Class 801 also have that after being upgraded. 
• 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'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 458/5.
• 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.
