■ TWO references to‘Barton Underwood’ in Stockspot July should read Bartonunder-Needwood, which is the Central Rivers servicing and maintenance depot for ‘Voyager’ trains in Staffordshire. Nick Waller, Burton-on-Trent
■ GWR loco No. 6024 King Edward I was incorrectly renamed King Edward VI in the caption on page 40, June issue. Kirk Martin, London
