Actually, those 155's were pretty good on that service. I'd have preferred what we had before though - 33 (or possibly 47) + mark 1 stock. Sometime in the summer of '88 (I THINK) the 155's were all temporarily withdrawn owing to a door defect, and for about three weeks we got the Cromptons back! :)

I must admit I like units, but by liking units I mean decent slam door stuff diesel & electric..........I even have a guilty pleasure of liking 141's lol

Now you're talking:cool:

Personally in this unit orientated time, the '153's' following conversion from '155's' look at home on our network rather than crappy 'Pacers' (arguably the worst riding units EVER???):mad:

Anon Mouse 13th January 2010 00:26

ha ha ha each to their own I suppose, but dispite an embarasing fetish for 141's I would rather a 101, 117 or 119 unitwise :)
