Tautological duplication of categories. The GWR 2800 Class cat is adequate itself. The GWR is the Great Western Railway. Also these aren't "trains", they're locomotives. This isn't a trivial distinction, even if Thomas doesn't care, some editors here do. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:12, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- This is to distinguish from GWR 2800 Class locomotives operated by British Railways or in preservation. This matches the categorisation applied to British Rail diesel and electric locomotives and rolling stock such as Category:British Rail Class 43s of British Rail.

- What a completely pointless waste of time and effort. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:24, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Keep per Geof Sheppard. There is part of a larger category structure which is standardised across all UK mainline trains (well, getting there anyway). While I do not doubt that it occasionally delivers categories which may at first glance seem a bit odd (Category:British Rail Class 378s of London Overground being an example, as all class 378s are London Overground), I feel it is important to be consistent. Further, as Geof states, this particular category allows people to specifically get GWR-operated trains (eg historic ones) rather than those of British Rail (slightly less historic) or in preservation (modern). -mattbuck (Talk) 21:08, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
