@Clarityfiend: I know that article based on rail transport not on any individual person.
@184.144.97.125: Being non native speaker, I didn't know it was an error edit. Rizosome (talk) 09:08, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heard over the loudspeaker at Liverpool Street Station tonight:

"The train at platform nine is the 17-oh-oh service to Ipswich."

I've never heard that before, but I have heard of "00" gauge (although I don't know what it means). 2A00:23A8:4015:F500:8CF9:8857:ED42:5830 (talk) 17:56, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OO gauge (usually not '00') is a scale used in model railways in the UK, corresponding to approximately 1:76. It superseded O gauge, approximately 1:45 (not a train departure time). Gauge and scale relate to different concepts. See also 1 gauge, 2 gauge, etc. MinorProphet (talk) 17:42, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
