BR/BREL

'BR/BREL' is used in this encyclopedia where a British Railways locomotive class was designed and built jointly by the BR engineering staff and British Rail Engineering Limited, BR's wholly-owned engineering subsidiary established in 1969 to consolidate the rolling-stock works. The arrangement covered most BR rolling stock built in the 1970s and 1980s, including the Class 56, Class 58, Class 318 EMU and many other classes.
