Claire Perry is really churning out those "I welcome these new
trains..." press releases this week.

Why doesn't their class number start with a 3?

For the same reason the IEP class numbers don't.

They have one thing in common: the DfT specified and bought them, and paid
well over the odds. They needed to justify the high costs with hyped-up
class numbers.
