Other infrastructure

Notes

^ Note that this is the Big Four article itself; its constituents four constituents are high-importance.
^ Great British Railways is currently mid-importance because it only contains SWR. By the time it is formally established in 2027(?) it will be top-importance.
^ The only top-class articles at the editors' discretion.
^ e.g. InterCity 225 and BR Class 390 Pendolino
^ e.g. Stephenson's Rocket and Mallard
^ e.g. Flying Scotsman
^ For example Napsbury railway station or Arksey railway station
^ e.g. Palace Gates railway station
^ e.g. British Rail Class 390 or British Rail Class 345
^ e.g. Cambridge line or Glasgow–Edinburgh (Falkirk) line
^ E.g. the Great Central Main Line
^ e.g. Grosvenor Bridge or Digswell Viaduct
