Commuter services in the Thames Valley use Class 165 and Class 166 Thames Turbo trains, while local services in the south-west are operated with a variety of two-and three-car Diesel multiple unit trains.

Image: 166217_at_Reading. JPG | The old Thames Trains livery, with First Great Western Link logos added, remained until recently on this Class 166, seen here at Reading.

Three-car Sprinter units are due to transfer from London Midland to work services on the Reading to Basingstoke Line, allowing Class 165 and 166 units to reinforce other Thames Valley services.

The Class 166 " Thames Express Turbo " is a three-coach DMU, similar to the Class 165 units but with an internal layout more suitable for longer-distance services.

The main visible difference is that Class 166 units have a first-class section at each end of the train, are usually formed of three coaches, and feature opening hopper windows only on every other window, as the units are air-conditioned.

All Class 166 units have received First Great Western Neon Dynamic Lines livery.

The class is a development of the design used in the British Rail Class 165, 166 and 168 DMUs known as the Networker Turbos which were built by BREL and later ABB Transportation Ltd before that company became part of Bombardier.

Notable features shared are the aluminium alloy frame and Voith transmission as well as the general body shape ( the cab ends are similar to those of the Class 168, but not Class 165 / 166 ), interior design and door fittings.

As of July 2012, these have now re-entered service on the Cotswold Line, running most services between London and in order to release Class 165 and Class 166 units for further use in the Thames Valley.

In the early 1990s the Networker family was entering large-scale service in the Network SouthEast sector-both third-rail EMUs ( Class 465 / 466 ) and DMUs ( Class 165 / 166 ) were in service, with proposals for others, including a so-called " Universal Networker ", intended as Class 371 and 381, that would have dual-voltage capability.

The British Rail Class 166 Turbo Express is a fleet of diesel multiple units ( DMUs ), originally specified by and built for British Rail, the then United Kingdom state owned railway operator.

Externally, the class 166 can be distinguished from a Class 165 by having a first class section at each end of the train, and opening hoppers on every other window.

It hoped to begin these services in 2013 using Class 407 ICE units, with three trains per day each way — morning, midday and afternoon.

In order to make defective units obvious, glass units are designed with Class B construction, so that an overvoltage causes a puncture arc through the glass instead of a flashover.

The stock was replaced by Class 482 units in July 1993, which were virtually identical to the 1992 stock used on the Central line.

Class 317 units built in the early 1980s were still in use when services into Moorgate ceased in March 2009 under the Thameslink Programme.

Due to the combined nature of the Canadian Forces, however, it is not impossible for an air force Chief Warrant Officer or a naval Chief Petty Officer 1st Class ( CPO1 ) to rise to that post, especially in units with a high number of support trades personnel ; examples might include a Logistics Branch CPO1 being appointed RSM of a service battalion, or an air force Communications and Electronics Branch CWO appointed to the position in a Communication Regiment.

With a few Class 357s being out of service at the same time, from late 2006 two Class 321s were hired from Silverlink for three months for weekday peak-hour use on between Fenchurch Street and Laindon, and Pitsea via Rainham, to cover for the unavailable units.

In June 2009 Bombardier began repainting the Class 357 units.

Through trains between St Pancras and Matlock ceased when Class 222s units were introduced as they were not allowed on the Derwent Valley Line branch line, unlike the Class 170s which previously operated the route.

These are operated by a variety of trains of Class 142, Class 150 and Class 156 Sprinter DMUs or Class 323 electric units.

Class 158 Express Sprinter and occasionally Class 150 Sprinter units when 175s are not available.

All CrossCountry services are operated by Class 220 Voyager and Class 221 Super Voyager units.

These services are operated by Class 158 Express Sprinter units.

Class 185 Desiro units operate most TransPennine Express services, with the exception of Hull services which are operated by Class 170 Turbostar units.

* Three trains per hour to London Euston, two via Stoke-on-Trent and one via Crewe as part of the West Coast franchise, operated with Class 390 Pendolino units.

This year several entries from Canada were entered which made the Junior Class International.

It was interesting to note that many of these Juniors were showing dogs in various other classes at the show prior to the Finals of the Junior Class.

After the Juniors were welcomed and congratulated for qualifying for the Finals of the Junior Class, Mrs. William H. Long, Jr. was introduced as the first speaker.

Twenty years ago her daughter Betsey Long, then 13 years of age, won the Grand Challenge Trophy, Children's Handling Class ( as they were called then ) at Westminster.

Not only were the contestants pleased with the Class, but it aroused the interest of all in attendance that day.

The Intermediates in the Class with the Judge were asked to pick 4 winners and give their reasons but their decisions did not affect the choice of the Judge.

However, when, under manager Jack Kirwan, the club got promoted to the top flight of Dutch football for the first time in 1911 ( then the Eerste Klasse or ' First Class ', later named the Eredivisie ), Ajax were forced to change their colours because Sparta Rotterdam already had exactly the same outfit.

The British built a series of destroyers ( the A Class to I Class ) which were about 1, 400 tons standard displacement, had four guns and eight torpedo tubes ; the American Benson class of 1938 similar in size, but carried five guns and ten torpedo tubes.

These were followed by the J Class and L class destroyers, with six guns in twin turrets and eight torpedo tubes.

Britain was required to scrap most of her vast First World War fleet ( only two new, oddly-shaped, battleships, Rodney and Nelson were built at this time, known colloquially as the ' Cherry Tree Class ' as they had been ' cut down by Washington ').

Education up to Class VI and VII were provided by the TECs.

* Iron Duke was one of the GWR 3031 Class locomotives that were built for and run on the Great Western Railway between 1891 and 1915.

By 1957 they were students in the Vagabond Class of 1958 at the nearby University High School, where again they were on the school's football team, the Warriors.

However, Syria was scheduled to be an independent country, a so-called Class A Mandate, and the rights granted to France were far less than over other mandate territories.

The first group, or Class A mandates, were territories formerly controlled by the Ottoman Empire that were deemed to "... have reached a stage of development where their existence as independent nations can be provisionally recognized subject to the rendering of administrative advice and assistance by a Mandatory until such time as they are able to stand alone.

The Class A mandates were:

The second group of mandates, or Class B mandates, were all former Schutzgebiete ( German territories ) in West and Central Africa which were deemed to require a greater level of control by the mandatory power: "... the Mandatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory under conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience and religion.

The Class B mandates were:

A final group, the Class C mandates, including South-West Africa and certain of the South Pacific Islands, were considered to be " best administered under the laws of the Mandatory as integral portions of its territory "

The Class C mandates were former German possessions:

If the inhabitants of Palestine were ready for independence under a Class “ A ” mandate, then the Palestinian Arabs that made up the majority of the inhabitants of Palestine in 1922 ( 589. 177 Arabs vs. 83. 790 Jews ) could then logically claim that they were the intended beneficiaries of the “ Mandate for Palestine ” – provided one never reads the actual wording of the document:
