Title: Does anyone know how to make a suggestion for a HST power Car Naming ???

I'm just interested as I am involved with a local charity which is having a significant birthday and it would be great publicity to name a local train.

Hmm.  43003 is Isambard Kingdom Brunel: 43002 is Top of the Pops.  See http://www.hondawanderer.com/HST.htm  ;)

Ah yes, IKB is indeed 003.

However 002 is not named Top Of The Pops. It was more recently named Techniquest, however this plate was removed during the MTU programme.
