BP v BP/Metrovick Joint Venture edit
Just wondering if there is a need to have two pages with the same. BP was its own company, whislt the Stockton-on-Tees project was a joint venture with MV - suggesting two separate companies
there is already a page on the MV/BP joint venture Bowesfield_WorksSulzer55 (talk) 09:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
What happened in 1966? edit
Did the company go bust? Was it taken over? What happened to all its assets? Was there an attempt to sell it to another firm? I'd love to know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.78.167.235 (talk) 12:33, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Class 17 diesel omitted? edit
Hi, I was just wondering why the Class 17 diesel preserved at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway isn't listed in the preserved diesels section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Resinguy (talk • contribs) 00:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Massively inaccurate edit
I suspect this was written by some know-it-all railway enthusiasts who didn't feel the need to check facts. Beyer Peacock stayed in profitable business long after 1966, even though it had stopped making locomotives. A Saudi Arabian company bought it in 1976. 218.250.45.167 (talk) 03:10, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
