  The British Strike and the Events in Poland
British capital attacked the miners not only because the mining industry is badly equipped technically and is in need of "rationalisation," but primarily because the miners have always been, and still remain, the advanced detachment of the British proletariat.
The British workers could not but be convinced in the difficult moment of the general strike, when the platforms and programmes of the various parties were being tested in action, that the only party capable of boldly and resolutely upholding the interests of the working class to the end is the Communist Party.
The British workers, who replied to that attempt by a gigantic strike, have shown the whole capitalist world that the firm stabilisation of capitalism in the conditions of the post-war period is impossible, that experiments like the British one are fraught with the danger of the destruction of the foundations of capitalism.

The British Rail Class 222 is a diesel-electric multiple unit high-speed train.
The Class 222, manufactured by Bombardier Transportation is capable of 200 km/h (125 mph) and is similar to the Class 220 and 221 Voyager units used by Virgin Trains.

This centre rail is in profile like a dumb-bell - similar, that is to say, to a track rail of the type used in Great Britain, apart from the fact that the head and foot are equal in size - but it is laid on its side, instead of in the vertical position.

 British Rail Class 185 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Class 185 is a diesel multiple-unit passenger train built by Siemens in Germany for the British train operating company TransPennine Express.
In addition, due to their higher axle weight and route availability, which is RA 5 compared to the RA 2 of a Class 158, they are too heavy to run at the faster speed limits designed for lighter trains that are in place on many parts of the TransPennine network.
The "inter city"-style 2+1 first class seating, electrical power outlets throughout the train, large windows with excellent seat alignment, improved air conditioning and the improved seating in standard class have attracted much favourable comment; the loss of seats relative to an equivalent three-coach 158 means that more passengers are forced to stand at peak times.
