Legendary Trains Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

The Orient Express — The entry states the route was cut back to a through overnight service from Paris to Bucharest after 1977, but it actually required a change of trains at the Romanian border from 1977 onward.

The Flying Scotsman — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section says it was 'the first engine delivered to the newly-formed LNER in 1923' — this is inaccurate; the LNER was formed on 1 January 1923, but Flying Scotsman was not the first engine delivered.

The Shinkansen — The entry states 'Plans to extend the route to Beijing and Singapore were abandoned in 1943 due to World War II' but there were no official plans to extend the Shinkansen to Beijing or Singapore; this is a myth.

The TGV — The entry states the TGV network carried over 2.5 billion passengers by early 2024, but the actual milestone of 2.5 billion passengers was reached in 2010.

The TGV — The entry says the TGV project was presented to President Georges Pompidou in 1974 and approved then, but it was presented in 1971 and approved in 1971.
