THese cars were bought by WAGR/Westrail, and were operated by them on behalf of the MTT.Sulzer55 (talk) 12:22, 3 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

DMU or DEMU? edit

Are the ADLs diesel multiple units or diesel electric multiple units (as the new title seems to suggest)? pcuser42 (talk) 10:19, 1 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

They are Diesel Mechanical / Hydraulic. They do not have an electric transmission. Kaiwhara (talk) 20:40, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, although no longer relevant :) pcuser42 (talk) 20:46, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Recent move edit

I agree with the move to a more generic name, but I'm not sure that we need to include the trailer classification in the title as "ADL" also refers to a whole unit. Thoughts? pcuser42 (talk) 03:55, 7 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Auckland Transport service edit

I propose removing the AT transport service colour (blue) as per Template talk:NZR locomotive list: This colouring for rolling stock lists is no longer relevant, it was meant to signify diesel classes in exclusive AT service; that requirement no longer exists. --LJ Holden 02:31, 22 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

The article focuses almost exclusively on the cars in NZ, not their time in WA.

Sidebar image edit

 
Unrefurbished ADL 804 at Auckland Railway Station, 2004.

Looking at the caption for this image of an unrefurbished ADL, it says the photo was taken in 2004 yet the article states all units were refurbished by November 2003. The caption also contradicts Britomart's opening in July 2003. I'd say this image was taken in July 2003 and not 2004, but I'm unsure how to go about correctly dating the image. pcuser42 (talk) 08:50, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hmm... yes that can't be right. I'll change it to "Pre 2003" --LJ Holden 08:03, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
