0 someone who runs short distances very fast, especially someone who competes in races such as the 100 metres: --
As for coaches, we hear about sprinters and pacers rushing about the country.
Indeed, the board has done well in this connection and more use of what it calls the "sprinter trains" will greatly increase the cross-country traffic.
The alternative of diesel sprinter units providing an almost equivalent service leaves the taxpayers and ratepayers £13 million better off.
Problems with the door-locking mechanisms of class 155 sprinters developed towards the end of 1988.
Has he any information on what are the trains that are known as super sprinter types and on what line they are likely to run?
Yet at no intersection is there a station—which makes impossible for any interchange to take place, unless one is an international sprinter.
I have good reason to believe that spare trains—the sprinter trains are more reliable rolling stock—are available for redeployment.
So far as running is concerned, sprinters tend to be small men with a low centre of gravity.
