Ok thanks for that mate.
Happy new year old chum. 48111 |
Question do any of the original HST stock count as slam door even with the "new" locking.?
|
I think I am right in saying that there is no Slam Door Commuter stock left in operation.
The last were in use on the Lymington branch. All other stock with doors are HST, Mk 2,3,and 4 coaches and any Mk 1 in charter specials. These should all be fitted with central door locking unless manned by stewards. Unsure what the situation is with stock in use on the NYMR Whitby service these may be exempt due to low speed. |
My main complaint is I can't stick my head out of the window!;):eek:

First Great Western had two loco hauled srevices last year; Cardiff - Taunton and Cardiff - Paignton. These services operated every day (not sure about Sundays).
